FOLDING MACHINE FOR LARGE-FORMAT DOCUMENTS

摘要

A sheet-folding machine has a housing having an off-line intake slot and, offset therefrom, an on-line intake slot, a manual sheet-input table on the housing juxtaposed with the off-line intake slot for feeding of a sheet manually into the off-line intake slot, and an automatic sheet feeder juxtaposed with the on-line intake slot and capable of cooperating with a sheet-processing device to receive a sheet therefrom and feed it into the on-line intake slot. Respective off-line and on-line guide chutes in the housing each have an upstream end at the respective slot and a downstream end. The downstream ends meet at an intersection. A roller-type folding unit in the housing receives a sheet to be folded at the intersection and folds it.
