Paper care

XEROX DOCUPRINT 4050/4090 IPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE
Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is stored
and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in the printer
with a minimum of jams.
Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside
xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use
paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture
content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The
maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.
Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage area:
•
Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or
where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.
•
Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.
•
Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.
•
Always store paper in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or
shelves, not on the floor.
•
Plan ahead and keep at least a day's supply of paper in the
same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization
prior to printing.
