, or

These preset options offer an alternative to creating and using a customized setting. Using one of the
preset Types A, B, or C settings usually eliminate the problem.
Always use these settings first before you use a customized setting. However, due to the broad range
of paper variables, image coverage, and environmental factors, these default settings do not result in
satisfactory performance. If the output is still curling more than desired, use one of the
Custom Curl
Correction
settings.
Custom Curl Correction
There are nine customized settings, including the default
No Curl
. These settings are saved to the
press memory and can be recalled and used at point of need. The nine settings include the following:
• Severe (Large) Upward
• Medium Upward
• Moderate (Small) Upward
• Slight (Very Small) Upward
• No Curl
• Slight (Very Small) Downward
• Moderate (Small) Downward
• Medium Downward
• Severe (Large) Downward
Use the custom selections if the Default and Types A, B, and C did not succeed in reducing or
eliminating the paper curl.
• The selection is based on the printed output. For example, if the printed output is curled upwards,
always select an upward correction.
• Select a value that is one higher or lower than the current output or value. For example with an
upward curling output, select the next value of
Medium Upward
.
• Selecting a value that is two or more higher or lower can apply too much correction, and
therefore, can cause paper jams and wrinkled output.
