If the Paper Folding Unit-F1 is attached to the Finisher-AM1/Saddle Finisher-AM2, the paper can be folded in 5 different ways (Z-Fold, Half Fold, C-Fold, Accordion Z-Fold, Double Parallel Fold).

Paper Folding Unit-F1 folds 11" x 17", LTRR, or LGL paper into its half size, respectively. When multiple copies of differently sized originals must be made, the Z-Fold mode enables you to easily handle paper with the same leading edge length but different width.
Paper folded in a Z-fold is output to the tray specified for the Finisher-AM1/Saddle Finisher-AM2.

If LTRR is Z-folded, please note that the Auto Orientation Setting differs depending on the orientation of the original.

*2 If Auto Orientation is set to 'On', LTRR is selected automatically. However, if the Merge Job Blocks is set, LTRR is not selected automatically.
If 11" x 17" paper and LTR paper are loaded together, only 11" x 17" paper is Z-folded. Even if you set the original in LTR orientation and set Auto Orientation Setting to 'On', LTRR paper is not selected if you set [Different Size Originals].

The paper outputs to the following Exit Slot, depending on the folding modes.
Z-fold Mode/Half Fold Mode: Finisher-AM1/Saddle Finisher-AM2
C-fold Mode/Accordion Z-Fold Mode/Double Parallel Fold Mode: Paper Folding Unit-F1
Staple Mode with the Z-fold Mode
When the Paper Folding Unit-F1 is attached, paper sizes, the maximum number of sheets, and paper weight that can be Z-folded and stapled are as follows:
11" x 17", LGL:10 sheets (16 lb bond to 28 lb bond (60 g/m2 to 105 g/m2))
When the Paper Folding Unit-F1 is attached and using different size paper, the maximum number of sheets that can be Z-folded and stapled is calculated with the following formula.
X = the number of LTR or STMT paper which is not Z-folded
Y = the number of 11" x 17" or LGL paper which is not Z-folded
Z = the number of Z-folded paper
Example:
50 sheets of LTR paper + 5 sheets of 11" x 17" paper (one of the 11" x 17" paper is Z-folded)
50 + (2 x 4) + (10 x 1)
= 50 + 8 + 10
= 68
→68 ≤100
In this case, the paper can be stapled.
50 sheets of LTR paper + 7 sheets of 11" x 17" paper (all of the 11" x 17" paper are Z-folded)
50 + (2 x 0) + (10 x 7)
= 50 + 0 + 70
= 120
→120 ≥ 100
In this case, the output paper is not stapled.
