Depending on the temperate and humidity conditions of the machine's environment and the type of paper being folded, use of the fold function can cause toner smearing, which can occasionally result in spoilt prints.
Print quality over fold lines might be reduced. This is due to cracking within the fused toner. Loss of surface along fold lines can also occur with some types of paper. To avoid possible wastage, print a single test sheet before beginning a print run.
Printing will stop if the number of printed sheets exceeds tray capacity. If this happens, remove printed sheets from the folding unit tray to resume printing.
