Managing your paper supply
Paper is a large investment in any printing operation. As with any
other investment, managing it well will ensure the greatest
possible returns.
Managing your paper supply includes:
•
Checking paper that is shipped to you for defects
•
Handling and storing paper properly to prevent damage
•
Controlling moisture in paper to optimize its performance in the
press
•
Conditioning paper to the print room temperature before
printing
•
Using proper paper tray loading techniques
The following guidelines will help you manage your paper supply
and allow you to maximize:
•
Productivity - Your Xerox Nuvera will run with fewer
problems.
•
Quality - Your finished product will look better.
•
Profit - You will reduce the amount of paper waste.
CAUTION: Return all defective paper to the supplier to prevent
machine contamination, image quality defects, jams and
misfeeds.
Never attempt to use paper that is defective in any way. Check all
paper that is shipped to you for the following defects:
•
Carton damage - Paper can become damaged if cartons are
dropped, thrown, or struck with a fork lift. Cartons can also
become damaged from water. Damaged paper can cause
jams, even when the damage is not immediately visible.
•
Open ream wrappers - Moisture-proof wrappers may open due
to mishandling or defective packaging. Paper that has gained
or lost moisture can lead to paper handling and image quality
problems.
•
Paper dust, dirt particles, bits of paper, wrapper glue, fillers, or
other materials used in paper production - Paper must be free
of dirt and manufacturing by-products to run reliably and
produce good image quality.
