Paper curl and paper jams

Measuring the paper curl
XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS OPERATOR GUIDE
Too much curl in the paper stock can cause paper jams. You can
adjust the decurler lever to correct most of these problems. Refer to
the paper curl chart at the end of this chapter (figure 11-46) to
determine the amount of curl in the paper stock.
To measure the paper curl:
Step 1. Print five one-sided (simplex) 8.5 by 11 inch or A4 sheets.
Step 2. Measure the amount of curl in the prints by holding the five prints in
the top center of the short edge (see figure 11-4).
Keep the image toward you.

chart located at the end of this chapter.
