2. Paper and paper trays
Many factors affect the performance of paper, including room
temperature, humidity, paper quality, dust, and the size of the
image area. If jams or paper curl problems occur, remove the
paper from the paper tray, turn it over, place it back in the paper
tray, and resume printing. If the problem is rectified, continue to
load your paper in the same manner.
If the problem is not rectified, load a new ream of paper and try the
process again. If the problem persists, your System Administrator
may go into the Tools Mode and try the different decurler
settings. If, after trying all the previous suggestions, the problem
still persists, call your Xerox representative.
For reliable digital press operation and good print quality, Xerox
recommends the following:
Stored paper:
• On a flat surface. Do not store paper directly on the floor, since
this increases the possibility of moisture absorption. Paper
should be stored on pallets, shelves, or in cabinets in an area
protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
• In a low dust area.
• In a low humidity area. Humidity is one of the most important
steps to promote proper paper characteristics. Optimum paper
storage conditions include a relative humidity of 35-55%. An
increase in humidity may cause paper to develop wavy edges.
This occurs because the edges absorb moisture while the rest
of the ream remains unaffected. Wavy edges causes jams and
misfeeds.
• In an air-tight, moisture-proof container.
