fan fold
Continuous stacked sheets
Fan fold describes paper that's been folded in alternating directions to create a stack of connected sheets, like an accordion or a paper fan.
This format was standard for continuous-feed computer paper with perforated edges: The old dot-matrix printer used fan-fold paper.
The verb means to fold something in this zigzag pattern.
