Paper Guidelines

Curl

3- 4
For the best results, remember the following:
• Do not load paper or other materials above the MAX line on the rear
paper guide.
• Do not store extra reams of paper in the paper trays.
• Do not use wrinkled, torn, curled, or folded paper.
• Use the paper sizes and weights shown in the Recommended Materials
List.
• Follow the suggestions in the Specialty Media Guide: Hints and Tips.
• Do not mix sizes or weights of paper in a paper tray.
• Ensure that the tray indicator LEDs are set for the correct paper size,
weight range, and paper type.
Copy paper is fed into the digital press in one of two positions: long edge feed
(LEF) or short edge feed (SEF). Long edge refers to the long edge of the paper.
When you see LEF, position the paper so the long edge is fed first. Short edge
refers to the short edge of the paper. When you see SEF, position the paper so
the short edge is fed first.
NOTE:
It is imperative that you load paper with the paper guides adjusted
properly. If the paper is NOT loaded properly, it will skew and jams will occur.
When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and curls toward the
heat source. High coverage jobs tend to curl more due to the toner plastification
effect on the paper surface. The system tries to reduce this by using mechanical
devices within the paper path called decurlers.
Your system has been designed with an automatic curl control system that uses
information such as: the amount of coverage on the page, paper weight, whether
the paper is coated or uncoated, and the current humidity and temperature to
determine the amount of pressure needed at the different decurlers to reduce
output curl.
If you are experiencing excessive curl, remove the paper from the tray, turn it
over and replace it in the tray. If the curl is still excessive, refer to the System
Administration Guide, Tools Mode chapter, to change the decurler settings to
accommodate the environmental and paper conditions.
