In order to reduce the costs involved in resetting the knife folding machine () to other material webs () to be folded or at the end of a material web (), a work transfer device () is provided, which, in an ejection mode, has a stop () which juts into the projection area of the standing folds () in the folding channel () in the folding direction (F). As a result of the work transfer device (), the standing fold parcel () in the folding channel () is able to be ejected and to be further processed in normal fashion by following appliances, without waste being incurred.
