•The accordion folder has a capacity of 20 panels of 20lb (75 gsm) bond, less with heavier media. With a panel width of 12”, this allows a maximum foldable feed length of 240”. Accordion folding ceases at panel number 20, and any trailing portion of the document is passed unfolded.
•The maximum number of panels of 20lb (75 gsm) bond that can be accordion folded and crossfolded is usually 12, corresponding to a document length of 144” with 12” panels.
•
•The standard dimension of bookfolds is 8½” x 11” overall, with a 1” binding edge of 1”. Other binding edge widths from ½” through 2” may be selected by the service technician.
•The maximum document length for bookfolding is 120” with 20lb (75 gsm) bond.
Width sensors at input end of bridge
Sensor status determines document width. For example, if sensor PS3 is activated and the others not, the width must be greater than 15½” and less than 21” (this implies 17”, 18”, or 420mm media widths). Note that the width classifying system is just that, no more. It recognizes a document as belonging to a particular group, but doesn’t identify it specifically.
Note: When communications with a host is enabled the folder receives media width information directly from the controller overriding the bridge sensing system. If the printer does not accurately record a roll width, the error will be delivered to the folder and may result an improperly folded document or jam.
