Formax FD 3302 Air-Suction Document Folder

Finish prints on-demand with FD 3302 Air-Suction Document Folder. This compact and fully automated tabletop machine is ideal for giving digitally printed documents on heavy and coated stock a professional finish. The folder features an air-suction feed technology that minimizes static electricity and significantly lessens feed marks commonly encountered in traditional friction feed systems. Internal fans produce air and suction for quiet operation while a side air system enhances the feeding of heavier stocks and larger sheets. The folder works fast at speeds of o 18,600 sheets per hour. The feed tray can hold up to 625 sheets for efficient operation. These capacities and features make the machine suitable for a range of applications. The variable fan speed and airflow can be adjusted independently using the interactive control panel and external adjustment knobs. Other advanced features include an automatic paper size detection and fold plate settings, a 4.3” color touchscreen LCD control panel, six programmed fold settings, and the ability to store up to 30 custom folds. It also includes a cross folding guide, a four-digit counter with batch counting capability, four fold rollers for accuracy, and document security features.
