Overview:
The Martin Yale P6200 is
a small desktop letter folder that is designed to help make folding
invoices, letters and statements simple and easy.
It is
designed to sit on your desk or beside your postage meter to allow you

The P6200 is a personal folding machine
and is not designed for volume folding applications. Still it is an
excellent choice for administrative professionals, accounting
professionals, home office workers and other users who need to prepare
letters and statements on a daily basis.
Strengths / Features:
One
of the best things about the Martin Yale P6200 is that It is simple to
use and requires no setup. Many paper folders require users to move
fold plates, adjust knobs and change settings in order to prepare the
folder for use. The P6200 is ready to fold out of the box and doesn't
have any settings other than an on/off switch.
The P6200 is
extremely small and sits on your desk or beside your printer. This
allows you to quickly fold letters as you prepare them. This machine is
one of the smallest paper folders available anywhere and helps to
ensure that folding is never more than an arms length away.
The
P6200 can accept stapled sets of up to three sheets at a time. This
means that you can fold multi page statements, letters or reports in
one easy step.
Weaknesses / Limitations:
Although
the Martin Yale P6200 is incredibly simple to use, it is also limited
in the type of folding that it can do. It is designed to fold 8.5" x
11" letter size 20 and 24 pound paper into a letter fold. It cannot
handle heavy paper stocks, legal sized paper and is not able to produce
any other types of folds. The P6200 is strictly designed for folding
letters to fit inside standard number ten envelopes.
Unlike
many other paper folders the P6200 is a hand fed machine and does not
have a feed tray. This means that items must be fed into the machine
one sheet (or set of sheets) at a time. This is ideal for folding
single letters but does not lend itself to any type of volume
application.
The Martin Yale P6200 is a personal folding
machine that is designed for low volume personal use. It is not a good
option for users who need to do large volumes of folding. If you
attempt to use the P6200 for more than fifty letters per day it will
most likely not hold up over time.
Recommendation:
The
Martin Yale P6200 is an excellent choice for users who need a personal
folding machine to assist in folding letters, statements, invoices or
other correspondence as it is created.
It's small footprint
and easy to use design makes it an ideal machine to place on your desk
or beside your desktop laser or inkjet printer.
However, the
P6200 is not designed for volume users and should only be considered by
organizations that need to fold a few documents per day.
