    Handling Paper Stiffness: Limp paper may buckle in the machine, resulting in paper jams. Curl: Most paper naturally tends to curl one way if left unpacked. When paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward a little. To produce flat printouts, load the paper so that the upward pressure from the machine can correct their curling.
