A driver assembly including a motor and an arrangement of clutches is provided and is operable to actuate the shuttle, discharge feed and stripper assembly, conveyor, and folding roller assembly. A control panel is also provided to permit a user to manage and otherwise operate the paper-folding apparatus in an efficient manner.
