The Fully Automatic FD 38X Document Folder is a perfect solution for any office, church, school, or print-for-pay center that demands it. With its quick and easy set-up, jobs are completed exceptionally fast. Not only because the FD 38X setup is fast and easy (The new 2.8” (71mm) backlit LCD display and control panel makes the FD 38X extremely easy to use) but because it folds fast! With its fully automated fold plates and AutoStack™ Stacker Wheels, just about everything is set for you with the touch of a button. Once set, you can store up to 35 custom jobs. 18 pre-programmed fold settings of the most common jobs are already stored into memory.
With the large 2.8” (71mm) backlit LCD display and user-friendly control panel, even untrained operators can walk up to the FD 38X and start folding with little to no instruction.
The fully automatic FD 38X comes equipped with a patented Multi-Sheet Feeder that allows up to 4 sheets stapled or unstapled to be folded at one time.
As you can see in the video below operation is as easy as loading 500 sheets in the hopper, selecting the fold, and pressing start. It will adjust the fold plates and exit conveyor wheels automatically. While you can attend to more important matters like grabbing a cup of coffee for that 2nd wind! You have around 2 minutes before the stack is done and waiting for you on the telescoping conveyor system.
