1. Introduction
General
This folder/sealer produces finished mailable documents or "self-mailers" from cut-sheet
Pressure Seal forms. In one smooth operation it folds and seals single sheets into
self-mailers quickly and economically. Pressure activated cohesives provide an instantly
secure seal on all sides of the form, whether you use a “C”, “V” or “Z” fold.
Features include:
•Simple to load and operate
•Easy to change the fold styles
•C, V, offset V and Z fold styles
•No adjustment required when changing the weight of forms used
•Automatic stop when the in-feed tray is empty
•If empty at power-up, the in-feed tray lowers for form loading
•In-feed forms electronic counter with reset
•Form flow error detection
This operator manual describes the set-up and operation of the machine and is written as
a reference for an operator who is familiar with mailing operations and has received some
basic training in operating this model.

Which side is which?
The terms "in-feed", "out-feed", "operator side" and “non-operator side” are used
throughout this manual to identify the sides of the machine.
•The in-feed is the side into which the forms are loaded.
•The out-feed is the side out of which the finished mailers exit.
•The operator side of the machine contains the control panel and is the side facing you
when the in-feed of the machine is on your left.
•The non-operator side contains the mains connection and on/off switch and is at the
back of the machine as you stand facing the operator side.
