Before attempting to set the P7500 to a fold different than the factory setting, you 
must understand the different types of folds (see Figure 9 for examples of several 
common folds and their corresponding icons). A half fold requires only the first 
fold table to be set and used. All other folds require both fold tables. 

 

Letter Fold 

 

Half Fold 

 

Z-Fold 

 

Double Parallel

USING THE P7500 

Double Fold Operation 

All folding operations, apart from the half fold, require two folds be placed in the 
stock. This is the case in the typical letter fold or Z-fold. The second fold table 
must be in the double fold position (position it is factory preset to) in order to 
accomplish this. Use the following steps to create the different types of folds: 

1.

 

Loosen both locking knobs on both folding tables to loosen the paper stops. 

2.

 

Locate the icons on the fold table rulers that are the type of fold that the 
operator desires. 

3.

 

Move the Paper stops to the 
corresponding arrows next to the 
desired icons. 8.5” X 11” (yellow icons) 
and 8.5” x 14” (pink icons) paper use the 
inch scale on the left side of the rulers. 
A4 (blue icons) paper uses the metric 
scale on the right side of the rulers (see 
Figure 10). 

4.

 

Tighten the paper stop locking knobs 
down to lock the paper stops into 
position.
