12. CUSTOM FOLDING
Custom folding is the method of folding paper
by setting the positions (folding positions) of
the folding stoppers of folding plates 1 and 2
manually. As the folding position can be
specified, folding methods not available with
standard folding can be performed freely.
Prepare a sample of the required
accordion fold manually with the paper
used.

Measure the dimensions of the folded
planes A and B of the sample, and
folded paper length C.

However, the length of the folded plane (see

Incorrectly measuring the paper length or
setting the folding stopper position can cause
paper jamming inside the folding plate. If paper
jams, refer to “17-3. When Paper Jams Inside
