A clearly marked guide enables simple adjustments for letter

The Martin Yale 959AF Air Feed Folder is
designed for use in large mail rooms, print shops, and other offices.
It easily folds coated and double sided documents without the smearing
or slipping seen with many friction feed folders. The air feed system
also allows it to process a wider variety of paper weights. In
addition, this machine can also perforate, slit, and score your
documents as needed. Let's take a closer look at this versatile folder.

Strengths:

• The air feed system is really what makes this device stand
  out. It utilizes a vacuum and air pumps for more efficient feeding and
  results in reduced operating costs. Marks left by some friction
  machines are eradicated with this device. It also helps with the
  feeding of heavier stocks as well as coated and glossy paper.
• Stacks
  of documents are automatically fed one sheet at a time into the plates
  for folding and then neatly collated on the conveyor exit belt. Rubber
  folding rollers pull from the bottom of the pile, allowing continuous
  top reloading while working.
• A clearly marked guide enables
  simple adjustments for letter, legal, and 11" x 17" documents. It also
  shows where to position the plates for "C", "Z", half, and double
  parallel folds. Right angle and baronial folds are created in two
  passes. You can also create your own custom folds.
• In
  addition to folding, this machine slits, scores, and perforates. It
  comes with a seven-tooth-per-inch perforating wheel and two scoring
  wheels. Optional three- and fourteen-tooth-per-inch perforating wheels
  are also available as well as a slitting wheel. These functions can be
  performed separately or during folding. Quick-release journal shafts
  aid in the setup of this equipment.
• Paper size can range from
  3" x 3.5" to 14" x 18". The machine also accepts a wide range of paper
  weights, from 16lb bond to 85lb index.
• The hopper can hold
  up to 200 sheets of 20lb bond paper, which go through as fast as 18,000
  sheets per hour. Variable speed control allows you to select the
  optimal speed for whatever type of paper you're using.

Weaknesses:

• The biggest downside to this folder is the manual setup.
  Offices that rarely change their fold style can set the plates up once
  and not worry about it. But companies needing frequent changes may soon
  tire of switching the plate placement, as it can be tedious and time
  consuming. We suggest you save yourself the hassle and invest in an
  automatically adjusted machine, such as the MBM 352S.
• One
  feature lacking in this device is a counter. Counters tally the total
  number of items processed as well as allow batch folding. Depending on
  your needs, this may or may not be an issue for you. If you're looking
  for an air feed machine with a counter, check out the Formax FD390.

The
many strengths show the Martin Yale 959AF to be well-suited for the
folding needs of almost any office. Despite the few weaknesses, this
folder will be a convenient and efficient device to have around. High
folding speeds with a wide variety of materials can accommodate all your
folding needs. We think the Martin Yale 959AF is a great choice for
your next air feed folder.
