Paper Curl
When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and curls toward the heat source. High
coverage jobs tend to curl more due to the toner plastification effect on the paper surface. The
system tries to reduce this by using mechanical devices within the paper path called decurlers.
Your system has been designed with an automatic curl control system that uses information
such as: the amount of coverage on the page, paper weight, whether the paper is coated or
uncoated, and the current humidity and temperature to determine the amount of pressure
needed at the different decurlers to reduce output curl.
If the curl is unacceptable, you can change the setting.
To change the paper curl setting, you must enter the Tools mode.
