MAJESTIK 5760/5765 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Excessive curl may cause paper jams. The selection of a low-curl
paper with proper moisture content will make a significant difference
in the performance of your copier/printer.
Xerox papers are manufactured with built-in curl control and work
well when loaded into the paper trays in the correct curl direction.
Xerox papers are packaged with an arrow printed on one end of the
ream wrapper. The arrow points to the wire side of the paper. The
curl side of the paper, also known as the felt side, is the opposite
side.
Load the paper so the image will print on the wire side of the paper.
•
Load the paper into Paper Trays 1, 2, and 3 with the wire side
down (curl side up).
•
Load the paper into the Paper Tray Bypass with the wire side
up (curl side down). It is especially important to load heavy
weight papers into the Paper Tray Bypass with the curl side
down.
If more detailed information about loading paper is required, refer to
section six of the Xerox MajestiK 5760/5765 Digital Color Copier/
Printer Operator Manual.
If the wrapper on a ream of paper is not marked with an arrow
showing the wire (image) side of the paper, you can determine the
curl side by holding a one-half inch stack of paper by one of the
short edges.
Let the paper hang with the long edge parallel to your body. Either
the lower edge or the two side edges will curl slightly toward the
center. Observe which way the edge or edges curl. This is the curl
side.
