Paper folder grabs too many sheets and doesn't fold accurately

This machine grabs the whole pile of papers instead of one at a time. If you only insert one paper to be folded, it doesn't fold it accurately - it adds and extra little ''tuck-type'' fold to an edge of the paper somewhere it shouldn't be.

    Thanks for the advice. We seem to have the fold plates figured out now, but the machine is still unreliable in regards to how the paper feeds. It will vary between: grabbing one sheet of paper, grabbing several pieces and grabbing the whole stack! It is very frustrating.



    We have the manual, but it doesn't give any trouble-shooting help or tips for adjustments.



    The model is: Techko LF283



    Thanks, again!

Not sure what make / model you have but folders are pretty much the same. The issue with the paper feed is your retarder, also known as the paper seperator. On the feed table where you load paper there should be a pad or rubber wheel. Look for an adjustment screw. You need to close the gap enough so that it only takes one sheet at a time. The extra fold sounds like you need to adjust the fold plate stop positions just a hair. If you give me the make and model I should be able to email you a manual.

Can a paper folding machine fold paper of different sizes or do they only work with standard size paper?

Most higher end folding machines are able to fold most standard size sheets of paper. You would have to check the manual or with the maker before trying anything too fancy. Mine works great with A4 and standard 8.5 x 11" papers.

It grabs several sheets of paper at one time

This is most likely a paper problem, the paper is basically sticking to the next sheet, Ensure the paper is stored in a cool dry place helps, dont load the paper with more than what you need for a couple of days and when loading the paper flick the pages to allow air between the pages
If this dosnt work try a different brand of paper

Paper feed grabs more than one sheet

Try fanning your paper several times. Take that nice neat pile of paper in your hands and wiggle it so that your thumb fans through the edge of the whole stack. Do this on both edges so that the stack of paper is slightly less perfect. You can also gently fold the whole stack slightly in both directions. Do this every time you add fresh paper. It should only take a few seconds.

Not grabbing paper

Try cleaning the rollers again and fan the paper. When you clean the rollers, use alcohol and a lint free cloth. Don't put too many sheets in the feed tray.

Mail merge tri fold printing

Whats the weight of the paper? Try a lighter weight paper. Also, did it do it when you first got it? If No, it is called a limitation, it can't be done. If it did have your service tech come out and clean or replace the feed rollers or clutchs.

Martin Yale Paper Folder Problem

Im not familiar with a paper folder but if its anything like a printer, it probably has a maintenance kit you can buy or you may have to replace the rollers. Alot of the times they have a rubber grabber that wears out or a roller that gets dirty and doesnt catch the paper evenly and pulls it through at an angle, crinkling it. Check for debree or paper particles that may be floating around inside.
