3. Method of use
Lenght of fold
This screen enables to manually select the fold length
while folding.
Before feeding in a sheet, choose the desired fold
length according to the length of the sheet.
To calculate the length of the folds, you should
measure the length of the sheet and then estimate a
fold length, bearing in mind that you should always
divide by an even number of folds (minimum four). As
an example :
• Sample values : for a sheet of 240 cm, we obtain
6 folds of 40 cm or 8 folds of 30 cm. On the other
hand, it is not possible to have 4 folds of 60 cm.
After an initial trial, you should then fi ne-tune the
folding function by increasing or reducing the fold
length: for example by increasing an initial fold value
of 40 cm to 41 cm or reducing it to 39 cm.
The fold length can be adjusted from 20 to 48 cm per
steps of 1 by pressing the two left keys.
Valid by pressing the key OK.
Length of the fi rst fold
This screen makes it possible to manually select the
length of the fi rst folds during the folding process in
order to adjust the length of the sheet tail with the
other folds.
• Sample values: with a sheet of 265 cm and 8 x 35
cm folds, you can set the fi rst fold at 20 cm (with
an edge margin of 15 cm) followed by 6 folds of
35 cm.
• Sample values: with a sheet of 265 cm and 6 x 45
cm folds, you can set the fi rst fold at 40 cm (with
an edge margin of 5 cm), followed by 4 folds of 45
cm.
Feed problems or problems concerning the shape of
the sheets (which can sometimes be irregular), may
lead to the last fold "overshooting".
• Sample values: if you have selected folds of 45
cm and if after having modifi ed the edge margin
setting, the fi nal folds exceed 10 cm, you should
increase the fold length to 47 cm :
[45 cm + (10 cm / no. of folds)] = [45 + (10 / 5)]
in order to adjust the tail of the sheet.
By pressing the two buttons on the left, the value
for the fi rst fold can be adjusted from 0 up to half of
the "fold length" value previously set (with the value
increasing by 1 each time you press the button).
Valid by pressing the key OK.
