• To protect against electric shock, the machine should only be
plugged into a properly grounded wall outlet. The wall outlet
should be near the machine and easily accessible.
• Insert the power cord into power inlet at the rear of the machine
and the other end into the wall outlet.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
• DO NOT remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Avoid using wall outlets that are controlled by wall switches or
shared with other equipment.
• DO NOT route the power cord over sharp edges or trapped be-
tween furniture.
• Insure there is no strain on the power cord where it becomes
jammed between the equipment, walls or furniture.
• Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle into which the
machine is plugged is free from obstruction.

GENERAL
The Model 1810 Folder is a desktop folding machine designed for
the low-volume mailer. The folder is ideal for mailers whose normal
usage is about 20 sheets per day or those who have monthly peak
loads of under 1000 sheets.
The Model 1810 Folder can fold papers in letter, legal, statement,
and invoice sizes. The pieces to be folded can contain from one to
three sheets of a nominal 20# base paper. A single dial allows you
to select the desired fold based on paper size. Refer to chart on
page 6.
For single-sheet folding, you can use either the automatic feeding
function by placing the single sheets in the paper cassette or by
manually placing the sheet into the manual feed opening. For pieces
that are stapled or contain more than one sheet, you must feed
them manually. The following figure shows the major components
of the folder.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION
After opening both boxes, perform the following procedure to install
the folder.
1. Place the machine on the suggested working surface. This
surface should be a sturdy table. NOTICE: Don’t block the
sides or vented openings on your machine or use it over a
radiator or heat register.
2. Be sure the On/Off switch is Off ("O" side depressed) and insert
the power cord into the machine. Plug the other end into a 120
Vac, 60 cycle outlet. CAUTION: Only use a three prong outlet.
Never use an adapter or cut the ground prong from the plug.
3. Configure the paper cassette (if required) for the length of paper
to be used by moving the paper stop (shown on page 5) to the
correct position. Push the tabs toward the center to release the
stop and then insert it in the proper location. There is also a
reversible tray label. You can now load the paper in the tray.
4. Insert the paper cassette into the folder. Hold the cassette
firmly in both hands and slide the cassette into the opening in
the right-hand cover. Firmly push the cassette in as far as it will
go. You must lift up slightly on the end while pushing inwards.
Once the tray is in all the way, it should be lowered into place.
5. Install the wire stacker tray extension as illustrated on page 5.

OPERATION
CAUTION
This machine contains moving parts that can
catch hair, loose clothing, and jewelr y. Keep
these articles clear during operation.
The machine can be operated in the Automatic feed (Paper cassette) mode or Manual feed mode. Use the automatic feed mode if
you have a lot of single-sheets to feed of the same size. Use the
Manual feed mode if you have only a few sheets, multi-sheets, or
stapled sheets to feed.
AUTOMATIC FEED (PAPER CASSETTE) MODE
1. Select the type of fold you want from the table in this manual or
from the fold selection chart on the machine.
2. Turn the Fold selection knob to the number that corresponds to
the type of fold you want. The Fold selection knob has been
designed to have a stiff resistance while being rotated to prevent the knob from moving while paper is being folded. The
knob will stop securely at the desired fold setting.
3. Configure the paper cassette as required (11 inch or 14 inch
paper). Set the length of the paper cassette by moving the
paper stop in the cassette. There is also a reversible tray label
on the end of the cassette.
4. Place up to the maximum number of sheets of paper in the feed
cassette, in the direction specified in the Fold Selection Table,
for the selected fold. Do not go past the fill line in the cassette
as overloading may produce poor quality folds or cause paper to
jam and misfeed. Make sure the front corners of the paper are
under the triangular shaped metal pieces at the corners of the
cassette.
5. Firmly insert the loaded cassette into its opening until you feel it
lock into the position. If you should experience crooked folds,
check if cassette is locked in properly by pulling on it to assure it
is in tight.
