Paper feeding hints
DocuColor 40 MATERIALS USAGE GUIDE
Paper handling and copy curl performance vary with room
temperature, humidity, paper quality, and the image area on the
copies. All of these variables interact, and, in some situations, the
operator must experiment to determine which paper loading method
provides the best performance.
If persistent paper feeding problems occur, one of the following hints
may help:
•
Turn the paper over and make the copies again. This
technique can be used for both the paper trays and the Paper
Tray Bypass. If feeding performance is improved, continue to
load the paper in this manner.
•
Open a fresh ream of paper. Load the fresh paper and run the
job again. If the paper jams cease, discard the paper that was
causing the jams.
•
Occasionally, the top sheets of a newly opened ream will curl
the opposite of the remaining sheets in the ream, indicating
that the paper is adjusting to the humidity level in the room. To
obtain consistent curl for all sheets in the ream, allow the
opened ream to remain in the room until all the sheets have
acclimated to the environmental conditions.
•
Change the paper feed orientation. For example, if feeding
long edge first (LEF), try feeding short edge first (SEF).
•
When using coated paper, fan the paper stock vigorously
before loading. Refer to the coated paper section earlier in
this guide.
