Description of the 1217A Martin Yale AutoFolder

Popular with churches, schools, and medium to large mailrooms, the Martin Yale 1217A AutoFolder is designed with dependability in mind. While this model is larger than other popular paper folders, the 1217A compensates with a wide array of convenient features.

The Martin Yale 1217A folds up to 10,300 sheets per hour, much faster than a light duty paper folder. It also has a 250 sheet feed tray capacity and accepts paper sizes from 4"x4" to 12"x18", which includes the standard letter size and legal sized paper. Thanks to the adjustable fold plate, the 1217A can perform 7 different folds: Letter, Half, Z-Fold, Double Parallel, Gate, Church, Engineer. It can also fold multiple pages (generally stapled) simultaneously, and is fully adjustable for a second folding pass with the manual bypass.

The 1217A Auto Folder also comes with a 3 conveyor belt system which feeds the papers into the machine and dispenses them in neatly fanned stacks, preventing nesting and allowing for convenient and easy handling. The large rubber rollers also provide consistent paper feeding and produces a tight, finished fold. Another convenient feature of the 1217A Paper Folder is the reversible motor which allows the user to prevent and fix paper jams, extending the life of the machine and saving the user time and frustration.

Proper maintenance is the key to extending the life of your paper folding machine. Protect your investment by adding the Martin Yale 1217A Maintenance Kit to your cart.
