LOADING THE PAPER 

Add a stack of paper to the Paper Tray.   

Press the front of the tray down to load the paper.   

Move the side guides to be snug with each side of the stack.  It should be 

centered on the tray. 

SETTING THE SPEED 

There are 2 knobs on the back of the machine for speed adjustment.  The upper knob 

controls the speed of the paper feed.  The lower knob controls the folding speed.   

PLEASE SET THESE AT 80 TO START.  You can experiment with them if you like.  DO NOT SET 

FEED SPEED GREATER THAN FOLD SPEED.  The machine will feed more than can be 

folded and will jam. 

SETTING THE FOLD 

The PH-1 has 4 fold plates which allow it to perform 1, 2, 3 or 4 folds on a piece of paper.  

It starts with fold plate 1.  A single fold, like a half fold, is done in plate 1.  All other plates 

are not involved, so they are set to 0 to be fully closed.  A letter or tri-fold is performed in 

plates 1 and 2, with 3 and 4 closed, and so on.  A chart appears below.   

 Each fold plate has 2 sizing adjustments and 2 skew adjustments (small black knobs).  

Normally, you will not have to do anything to the skew adjustment knobs. There is 

another adjustment for skew on the machine. 

To set the size for the fold you want to perform, consult the chart.  It will require that you 

measure the paper you are folding and calculate where the stop(s) should be placed.   

Pull out the middle knob on each fold plate and move the

 top of the bar

 to the position 

required. This one is set at 7 3/8”.
