Paper folding start position

• Paper folding is created by the Paper Folding Plate and the Paper Pressure Plate. At the
same time when the Folding Rollers start to rotate, the Paper Pressure Plate starts
pressing the stack of paper to the contact area of the Paper Folding Rollers.
• For half of the Folding Rollers, no rubber material is used except at the center and both
ends of the Folding Rollers. This half of the Upper and the Lower Folding Rollers, con-
tacts each other at the center and both ends, and is only used to transport the paper,
thus preventing wrinkles.
• The other half of the Upper and the Lower Folding Rollers, contacts each other com-
pletely, thereby folding and then transporting the paper.
