Setting a fold type on your FD85 (Martin Yale 1812)

Use the following directions and the fold chart to create all types of folds. The folding chart is also located on the operator interface for quick reference.

Setting the fold type

4. Place a stack of the paper to be folded on the first feed table assembly.

7. Run the folder and fold several sheets.
8. Stop the folder and inspect the folded sheets for accuracy.
9. Make first fold corrections with the first fold table paper stop.
