Functionality Activation |
|
|
The 1004 – Folding machine functionality will be activated every time it is required to fold a component. Usually, this necessity is identified by the component’s finished and flat format. That is, if a component has a finished format = 210 x 266 mm and a flat format = 420 x 266 mm, the component has one vertical folding and has 4 pages. The Folding machine will be activated by the following specification characteristic class: Component Format – Cover Component Format – Cover with flap Component Format – Signature Component Format – Handout Component Format – Handout with templates Component Format – Endpage For more information, refer to “Specification Characteristic Type.” |

There can only be 2 accumulations in the folding, that it, for folding a component is necessary for the machine to accumulate 2 times. If more accumulations are necessary, this must be provided in the fold scheme. This functionality does not fold different interleaved components. Therefore, it is necessary to use the 1065 – Handout folding functionality. For more information, refer to "Setting the functionality 1065 – Handout folding.”. |

The position of the folding scheme according to the orientation, can be: Flip 0º - The front and back are in the reverse of the recorded position.
Flip 180º - The folding scheme rotates 180° to the right and the front and back are reversed.
Flip 270º - The folding scheme rotates 270° to the right and the front and back are reversed.
Flip 90º - The folding scheme rotates 90° to the right and the front and back are reversed.
Rotation 0º - The folding scheme position remains as recorded.
Rotation 180º - The folding scheme rotates 180° to the right.
Rotation 270º - The folding scheme rotates 270° to the right.
Rotation 90º - The folding scheme rotates 90° to the right.
