ABOUT PAPER

Friction coefficient

This term refers to the frictional differences between two adjacent sheets of paper and between paper and the copier/printer feed rolls or belts. Since most Xerox digital color copier/printers are designed with friction feeders, the correct frictional properties of the paper are important in order that friction be uniform throughout each sheet. Also, relative friction that is too high or too low causes misfeeds, multifeeds, and jams.

There is no way to measure friction coefficients outside of a testing facility. The safest procedure for you is to always buy your paper from reputable, reliable vendors of xerographic supplies. Xerox was the first to identify and specify frictional ranges needed for xerographic papers. Xerox papers possess the correct frictional properties for use in Xerox equipment.
