INTRODUCTION

General information

There are four variants of the Printfold Model 2750 Folder, each accommodating a specific range of print speeds:

XES Model 2753

Print speeds up to 5 ips (120 mm/s)

XES Model 2755

Print speeds up to 6 ips (160 mm/s)

XES Model 2757

Print speeds up to 8 ips (200 mm/s)

Synergix Fold System 40

Print speeds up to 10 ips (250 mm/s)

The Printfold 2750 Folder is self-programming, and fully automatic. It turns on automatically when a document exits the printer/copier, and turns off when the flow of prints ceases. There is no need to figure the fold pattern for each and every document, nor is it necessary to remember which packet types and sizes are possible with a given width of media. For example, with few exceptions, the folder can deliver an 8½” x 11” folded packet from any standard width of printer output from 11” through 36”, including metric sizes.

Each print is measured as it enters the 2750 Folder, which then determines the appropriate number and style of folds to produce the desired packet. The folder accepts any mix of prints, in random order. All prints other than A-size are automatically folded into the selected format, then stacked with the title block “up and out” (except for Z-fold packets, which exit title block down).

The bridge is pivoted at the rear, allowing the in-feed to be adjusted in height to match most engineering printers and copiers. It can also be tilted vertically to allow service access to the back of the printer/copier.
