ABOUT PAPER

Contact your local authorized Xerox distributor, or call Xerox at 1-800-822-2200 in the USA,

Friction coefficient

This term refers to the frictional differences between two adjacent

sheets of paper and between paper and the copier/printer feed rolls

or belts. Since most Xerox digital color copier/printers are designed

with friction feeders, the correct frictional properties of the paper are

important in order that friction be uniform throughout each sheet.

Also, relative friction that is too high or too low causes misfeeds,

multifeeds, and jams.

There is no way to measure friction coefficients outside of a testing

facility. The safest procedure for you is to always buy your paper

from reputable, reliable vendors of xerographic supplies. Xerox was

the first to identify and specify frictional ranges needed for

xerographic papers. Xerox papers possess the correct frictional

properties for use in Xerox equipment.
