The folder plate motor [A] switches on and drives the folder plate [B] forward to push the center of the booklet into the nip of the folder rollers [C], giving the booklet a partial fold.

This is a detailed cross-section of the operation described above. The timing of the sequence depends on the size of the paper selected for the job.

The stack feed-out belt transports the booklet toward the paper exit [D] and stops when the center of the booklet is opposite the nip of the folder rollers [E].

The folder roller motor starts to turn and the folder rollers [E] start rotating. Then the folder plate motor switches on and pushes the folder plate [F] into the center of the booklet, driving the booklet between the rotating rollers. The booklet [G] (partially folded) then feeds out between the folder rollers.

The booklet exit sensor [H] detects the booklet when it leaves the folder rollers. This sensor triggers the mechanism for the next phase of the operation.
