Formax FD382 Tabletop Document Folder

The fully automatic FD 382 Document Folder is the ideal folding solution for any church, school or business which demands quick and easy setup. Six common folds are pre-set for 11″, 14″ and 17″ (Int’l Sizes A3, B4, A4, B5, A5 & B6) paper and can be activated with the touch of a button. Additionally, up to nine custom folds can be programmed and stored in memory. All the settings are easily made with the centrally located control panel and LED. The Telescoping Outfeed Stacker holds up to 500 folded documents. This unique feature enables operators to load the in-feed hopper and let it run out before removing the folded forms for most applications. The Optional Dedicated Multi-Sheet Feeder gives operators the ability to fold up to three 20# (75 gsm) sheets of stapled or unstapled paper at the same time. AutoBatchTM is a unique batch counting system that allows operators to key in a pre-determined number of sheets to be pulled into sets with a programmed delay between each set for easy paper handling. With these unmatched features, the FD 380 clearly sets the new standard for automatic paper folding. The FD 380 is capable of processing paper up to 18″(432mm) in length and up to 12.25″(311mm) in width giving it the flexibility to process a variety of paper sizes. The ability to customize jobs allows operators to fold in virtually any configuration that only requires two folds. Cross folding adds to the FD 380’s flexibility allowing for additional folds in a second pass. The unique semi-automatic Dedicated Multi-Sheet Feeder is designed with an independent skew adjuster, side guide adjuster and paper sensor allowing operators to accurately fold stapled and unstapled sets of precollated documents with up to three 20#(75gsm) sheets. Self centering side guides and a skew adjuster ensure that paper is loaded and feeds squarely into the folder. Fine tuning knobs on the fold plates allow operators to precisely set the fold positions. Pre-programmed folds, automatic fold adjustments, and a centrally located control panel make for easy setup and operation. The Telescoping Outfeed Stacker, with an unprecedented stacking capacity of up to 500 folded documents, cuts down on unloading time and ensures that the forms remain in a neat and sequential order. The unique AutoBatchTM or “automatic batch” allows operators to batch count with automated features. In the AutoBatch mode, operators can program the number of sheets to be processed in a set, the number of sets needed and the delay between each set.
