/ Limitations: TheMartin Yale P7400 Rapidfold is a great personal folding machine that
isdesigned for folding letters, bulletins or invoices. However, it is notdesigned for
handling glossy paper stocks, thick papers or coatedsheets.
In fact, the P7400 should not
be used with paper that isheavier than 28lb bond (or its equivalent).This machine isonly
designed to fold sheets that are letter, legal or A4 size. Userswho need to fold larger
sheet sizes or produce custom folds shouldprobably consider moving up to either the 1501x
or the 1601 paperfolding machines.The P7400 is what is commonly referred toas a manual
setup paper folder. This means that you need to manuallyadjust the paper stops on the fold
plates in order to change foldingpatterns. Adjusting the fold plates can be difficult and
if they arenot adjusted properly the folder may jam or produce crooked folds. Forthis
reason, the P7400 is not ideal for organizations that need toswitch folding patterns on a
regular basis. A Larger electronic setupfolding machine can simplify the movement of the
folding plates butthose machines also cost a lot more. Recommendation: TheMartin
Yale P7400 Rapidfold is excellent for organizations that need tofold a few hundred letter
or legal sized documents per week or arelooking for a convenient solution to fold a few
dozen sheets at a time.Fororganizations that need to fold larger volumes or who need to
handlelarger sheet sizes the P7400 will not be a good choice. Theseindividuals should
really consider a larger folding machine such as the1501x or the 1601 paper folders.Still,
this folding machineis an excellent choice for organizations that are looking for a
smallmachine to place beside their printer, copier or postage meter.
