XES Synergix 8825/8830/8855 Digital Solution Folding Supplement  Typically standard size files, printed on standard size media, with the title block located as positioned in the file, will fold with the title block visible on the folded copy. Document/Title Block Orientation Title Block and document orientation into the folder is very important. Folders generally have a preferred title block location for each orientation of the print. Since the Folder cannot sense the title block position, the fold programs assume a location. These orientations are Short Edge Leading (SEL) and Long Edge Leading (LEL). When the title block is in the preferred location as it enters the folder, the folded print will have the title block visible. Depending on the fold style, the title block maybe face up or face down in the output catch bin. Short Edge Leading There are two document orientations Short Edge Leading (SEL) and Long Edge Leading (LEL). The standard or most common orientation is SEL, which is defined as image up, title block leading and short edge leading (Figure 1). PRINTER FOLDER Print 2 Long Edge Leading Long Edge Leading (Figure 2) which is defined as image up, title block leading, long edge leading is being used more with printing electronic files which can be rotated and electronically manipulated with the software. However, this orientation presents more problems and restrictions for the folding programs, such as prints whose LEL is larger than the width of the media rolls in the printer. This will require that the print be rotated to put the print on the available media. This image manipulation may position the title block in a location that when folded will not have the title block visible on the folded copy. PRINTER Print FOLDER Figure 2.
