The FD 38X / FD 382 Folder is designed to perform a wide variety of folds using a variety of paper weights. The fold tables are automatically adjusted for standard folds and custom folds. Documents that are 8 ½” x 11”/14” and 11” x 17” (A5, A4, A3, B4, B5 & B6) are detected by sensors on the in-feed tray.

The folder will automatically stop after the last document has been folded.
