Reference Information
To help you understand the Universal Folder, some of the commonly
used terms are explained below.
Folded Print Dimensions

Rotation
When the Optional Bridge Rotation
feature is installed, the print orientation
can be turned, or rotated 90 degrees, in a
clockwise direction. This will be
performed automatically to facilitate
folding specific output package styles.
Maximum print dimensions for this
operation are given below.
X = only media rolls 22” - 594mm - 24” - 620mm
Y = with title block location 1 and 2 between 409 and 460
Y = with title block location 3 and 4 only media rolls 17”- 420mm -18”
Media
The folder was designed to operate with Bond (ordinary), 18-22 lbs (75-
100gsm) paper. Paper that does not meet this specification will result
in poor folding performance and an increased occurrence of jams.
All non-Bond (ordinary paper) Media delivered by the printer will not
be folded, but it will be automatically bypassed and stacked on the
bridge.
Mylar or Polyester Film should not be allowed to enter the folder. This
will cause a jam and may result in equipment damage.
The number and placement of folds is based on the type of fold selected
and the paper size. Refer to the Folding Style Reference Charts for
details on how the folds will look.
