2. P a p er an d pap e r t r ay s 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.
2 . P ap e r a n d pa pe r t r a y s • In a controlled temperature. The temperature in the room where paper is stored has a significant effect on how that paper performs in the machine. Optimum paper storage temperature is 68-76° F (20-24.4° C). For additional paper handling information, refer to the Color Materials Usage Guide. Cutting and trimming paper Proper cutting of the paper is important.
2. P a p er an d pap e r t r ay s Paper trays Paper Trays 1 and 2 are the standard paper trays for the basic configuration of the digital press. The following figure shows the paper path from trays 1 and 2 through the Transport Module.
2 . P ap e r a n d pa pe r t r a y s Paper guidelines For the best results, remember the following: SEF LEF • Do not load paper or other materials above the MAX line on the rear paper guide. • Do not store extra reams of paper in the paper trays. • Do not use wrinkled, torn, curled, or folded paper. • Use the paper sizes and weights shown in the Recommended Materials List. • Follow the suggestions in the Specialty Media Guide: Hints and Tips.
2. P a p er an d pap e r t r ay s Curl When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and curls toward the heat source. High coverage jobs tend to curl more due to the toner plastification effect on the paper surface. The system tries to reduce this by using mechanical devices within the paper path called decurlers.
