Decurler Adjustment

Decurler Overview

KEY POINT: Please read all the Decurler information before using 
the Decurler E Table Settings (E1 - E6) procedure.

When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and 
curls toward the heat source. High toner coverage jobs tend to 
curl more than low toner coverage jobs. The system tries to 
reduce this by using mechanical devices within the paper path 
called Decurlers.

Paper curl is caused by many variables, including, but not in any 
particular order:

The weight of the paper and whether it is coated or uncoated.

The amount of dry ink/toner and the area being covered on a 
sheet: the heavier the coverage, the greater the tendency to 
curl.

How the paper is loaded in the tray. Make sure you load the 
paper as instructed on the ream wrapper.

The atmospheric conditions of the room where the paper is 
stored and where the printer is located, especially those 
related to humidity and temperature.

The heat generated during the fusing processes.

Your system is designed with several automated settings to 
control curl. When using these settings the machine automatically 
sends paper through the proper Decurler:

System Default: Automatically determines the amount of 
pressure needed at the different decurlers in order to reduce 
the output curl of the paper.

Paper Type A, B, C, and D settings: Preset Decurler settings, 
which are manually selected as an alternative to the System 
Default setting. 

See “Decurler Paper Type A - D Settings” on 

page 3.

KEY POINT: While paper curl is caused by many variables, it is 
important to understand that the preset and custom Decurler 
profile settings use lookup tables for curl control that are based on 
the job’s percentage of toner area coverage and the printer’s 
humidity values, only.
