As shown in Stack [A] above, the top flap is slightly shorter than the other folds below which are of uniform
size. If this is not desirable, the folding job can be set to calculate how much paper is needed for the last
fold to ensure that the top flap is the same length as the other folds below, with folded surfaces of shorter
length hidden in the stack. The folds of the paper remaining before the final full-length fold are "adjusted"
to create shorter sections that will be covered by the top flap, so that the stack has a neat and uniform
appearance.
These adjusted folds can be done for either long folds or file folds as shown above.
• Stack [C] is a long fold (the first fold
¬
is a peak fold). The folds are adjusted at
®
so that the last flap
is the same size as the other sections of the stack and long enough to cover the shorter adjusted folds
below.
• Stack [D] is a file fold (the first fold is a valley fold). The folds are adjusted at
°
so that the last flap is
the same size as the other sections of the stack and long enough to cover the short adjusted folds
below.
1 Fold Length: 1st Fold Peak
This SP determines the start of the first peak fold. To do this, it changes the timing of the fan fold
sensor (F) that affects how far the paper feeds past this sensor after the first peak fold. This
adjustment determines the length of a flap at the first fold wider than the succeeding folds.
[-70 to 70/0/0.1 mm]
Note:
• Adjustment in the "-" or "+" direction decreases or increases the amount of paper that feeds
past the sensor. This decreases or increases the length of paper between the first two folds.
