CROSS FOLDING
Cross folding refers to folding a document in one pass and then running it through the folder a second time to
be folded again.

envelope.
1. Load folded paper into the feed tray with the fold
crease facing the non-operator side of the folder (Fig

Note: For best results fi rmly run your hand over the fold
crease to help fl atten the paper before loading.
2. Attach the cross fold paper guide onto the feed tray
paper guide (Fig. 14) and lower guide.
Note: Cross folding ability will vary based on the paper
weight and type. If the paper is too heavy it may not be
able to be cross folded.
