2. Paper and paper trays

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.
Your system has been designed with an automatic curl control

system that uses information such as: the amount of coverage on

the page, paper weight, whether the paper is coated or uncoated,

and the current humidity and temperature to determine the

amount of pressure needed at the different decurlers to reduce

output curl.

If you are experiencing excessive curl, remove the paper from the
tray, turn it over and replace it in the tray. If the curl is still
excessive, refer to the System Administration Guide, Tools Mode
chapter, to change the decurler settings to accommodate the
environmental and paper conditions.
