CROSS FOLD
A cross fold is also known as a right angle fold. It is made by folding paper twice: first in
one direction and then, on a second pass, from the side. The 2 most common are
these: the basic Cross Fold (fold in half then fold that in half from the side; and the
Baronial fold (fold in half and then in thirds from the side).
You can perform these 2 cross folds on a second pass with the PH-1 on regular paper up
to 24# bond that is not stiff, glossy or slippery.
To perform a cross fold, first fold the paper in half or thirds. Then set up the machine to
fold the folded paper in half or thirds again. For instance, the first fold of a cross fold on
a letter size piece of paper leaves it 8.5" x 5.5" (half of 11"). So the first fold would be set
at 5.5". That paper would be reloaded into the output tray for the second fold which
would be at 4.25". The final piece would be 5.5" x 4.25".
