The FlyingKnife folding system has a unique function that lets the machine pass flat
sheets through the fold rollers. This operation is known as a deflect. When you choose to
do a half fold on K1 or K2, the fold knife that is not used to fold the document becomes a
deflector. This means that the machine aligns the fold knife with the lead-edge or spine of
the document to guide it through the machine.
A Half Fold K1 cycle means K1 folds the paper and K2 deflects the paper. This leads to a
round spine finish. This cycle is shown below.
A Half Fold K2 cycle means K1 deflects the paper and K2 folds the paper. This leads to a
square spine finish. This cycle is shown below.
