Abstract

A folding table for use in forming a third fold in a printed product, is provided with a plurality of detents that can be shifted into and out of the movement path of the product. Any accumulated paper remnants can be removed from the folding table when the detents, or selected ones of the detents are moved out of the product path. The method of operation of the device facilitates the elimination of production interruptions.
