2.4 Fold Settings 
Note:  The folder is preset and tested for a standard 8½ X 11 letter fold.

   

Before attempting to use this unit, one must understand the 
different types of folds

 (see figure #12 for examples of several 

common folds and their corresponding icons)

.  A half fold 

requires that only the first fold table be set and used.  All other 
folds require that both fold tables be set up and used. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.4.1  Double Fold operation

 

All folding operations apart from the half fold require two folds be placed in the stock.  This is 
the case in the typical letter fold or typical Z-fold.  The second fold table must be put into double 
fold position 

(see figure #13)

.  If necessary, the second fold table may be moved by pulling out 

on the bottom edge and lowering or raising so that the double fold grommet is aligned with the 
mounting post

 (see figure #14)

.  Fold table may then be pushed onto its mounting post.  The 

paper stops on both fold tables must now be adjusted for the appropriate fold.  Match icon color 
on both sets of labels to choose one of three common paper sizes 

(see figures #15 and #16)

.  

NOTE: LTR=8 ½ X 11” (Yellow), LGL=8 ½ X 14” (Pink), A4=European (Blue).    

Loosen 

the paper stop adjusting knobs and slide the paper stop to the desired set of icons, aligning the top 
edge of the paper stop with the arrows next to the desired icons.  

NOTE:  The user may find it 

easier to move the paper stops with the fold tables removed from the 1501

Removing Fold Table 

Fold Tables can be removed by pulling 
the bottom of the table off its mounting 
stud, and then gently pulling its upper 
slots from the folder.  Installation is the 
reversal of the above.
