Decurler
TIP: Please read all the Decurler information before using the Decurler Profile procedure.
IMPORTANT! If you notice that output prints have too much curl, first try flipping over the stack of paper in the paper tray being used. You can also try running the job from a different tray. If curl is still a problem, use one of the Decurler
Overview
When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and curls toward the heat source. High toner 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 toner coverage on the page (for example, a page that has all text only versus a page that contains a photograph only)
•the paper weight
•coated or uncoated paper
•the current humidity and temperature
All the above factors determine the amount of pressure needed at the different decurlers in order to reduce the output curl of the paper.
With some print jobs, the output prints still may be curled more than you desire. In cases like these, use the Decurler feature to compensate for paper curl in your prints.
