Install the lower fold plate at an angle, as shown. Align the notches on the fold plate with the lower fold plate
pins. Push gently on the fold plate to lock it into position.

to “G” and the lower fold plate stop to “J”.
3. To adjust the fold stops loosen the two thumbscrews, slide the fold stop up or down to the correct position
and tighten the thumbscrews.
Note: To process a Half Fold, Set the upper fold plate stop to the proper position and then remove the
lower fold plate, rotate it 180
