3.0 Operation
3.1 Automatic Feed Operation
Make sure machine is powered Off. Set up the folder as
described in section 2 of these instructions. Fan the stack of
paper (see figure #20). Place the fanned paper onto the feed
table (see figure #21) with the top sheet positioned where the
feed roller and retarder meet. Note: Top paper of stack
goes into rollers first. Place only a few sheets on the folder

3.2 Multiple Page Set Operation
Your unit is capable of folding up to three pieces of 105gsm bond stock at a time. This requires that the
sets be fed one at a time through the top of the bonnet assembly. Set up the folder as described in Section
2.1, 2.3, and 2.5 of these instructions. Drop the paper in the slot located in the Upper Guide Assembly.
Hold the paper so that it rests squarely on the rollers
located underneath (See figure #22).

until the folding cycle is complete. The user may find that removing
the feed table during long runs of multiple page set operation helps
prevent unnecessary feed tire wear. Note: Do not attempt to fold
paper through the Upper Guide Assembly with the machine
already running, or poor folds will result. To obtain straight
folds, the front edge of the paper must be in the nip (pinch point)
of the fold rollers before the machine starts running.
4.0 Maintenance
4.1 Folding Rollers
During normal operation, the fold rollers will become coated with
ink, toner, paper dust, and other contaminants. Contaminated fold
rollers can cause a variety of folding problems including poor
feeding and wrinkled paper. Periodic cleaning of the fold rollers
will be necessary to maintain peak folding performance
(approximately every 5,000-10,000 sheets). Use the following steps
to clean folding rollers:
• Make sure that the power to the machine has been disconnected.
• Remove the Upper Guide Assembly by pushing it sideways into
the right side frame until the left end is clear of the machine, and then lift the left end straight up and out
(See figure #23). Liberally spray Martin Yale Rubber Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator onto a clean, dry
cloth. A mild soap solution on a damp cloth may also be used.

corrections as described in sections 2.3 and 2.4. Run only a few
sheets at a time until all necessary adjustments have been made.
A full stack of paper may now be placed on the folder and run.
For proper feeding, the stack must be squared in between the
paper guides, and the paper should be fanned so that the top sheet
is closest to the black feed wheel. Each sheet underneath is
staggered backwards. Note: When squaring the paper guides
do not allow guides to pinch stock.
