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. 

Common Application:  Folding a 11” x 17”  document in half  

and then letter folding it to fit in a standard #10 envelope.

1. Load folded paper into the feed tray with the fold

crease facing the non-operator side of the folder
(Fig 10a).

Note:

 For best results, firmly run your hand over the

fold crease to help flatten the paper before loading.

2. Attach the cross fold paper guide onto the feed tray

paper guide (Fig. 10b) 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.

Note:

 The guide can be conveniently stored under the 

lower fold table when not in use (Fig 10c).
