Measuring the paper curl
Take a sample of the stack (about 15 mm / 0.59” high) and place it on a flat surface
1
1
Take the midpoint as reference and
do all the measurements within the
marked area of the picture (from the
center to the leading edge in paper
feed direction)
2
2
Measure the lowest point of the stack
of paper
3
3
Measure the height of the leading
edge of stack of paper: the difference
between the leading edge and the
lowest point is the amount of paper
curl
Measure within this area
NOTE: always measure the positive curl
of a stack of paper, meaning that the
leading edge of the stack should be
pointing up as shown in the picture.
If the paper needs to be loaded in the trays
with the edge pointing down, insert the
negative curl amount in the UI.
NOTE: always load the LCT vacuum
trays with paper that has negative curl.
When possible, load the LSM tray with
paper that has negative curl: this will
increase performance.
T
his procedure can also be used to
measure the cross process direction curl.
