2.Managing your paper supply

Paper is a large investment in any printing operation. As with any other investment, managing it well will ensure the greatest possible returns.

Managing your paper supply includes:

•Checking paper that is shipped to you for defects

•Handling and storing paper properly to prevent damage

•Controlling moisture in paper to optimize its performance in the press

•Conditioning paper to the print room temperature before printing

•Using proper paper tray loading techniques

The following guidelines will help you manage your paper supply and allow you to maximize:

•Productivity - Your Xerox Nuvera will run with fewer problems.

•Quality - Your finished product will look better.

•Profit - You will reduce the amount of paper waste.

Checking paper for defects

CAUTION: Return all defective paper to the supplier to prevent machine contamination, image quality defects, jams and misfeeds.

Never attempt to use paper that is defective in any way. Check all paper that is shipped to you for the following defects:

•Carton damage - Paper can become damaged if cartons are dropped, thrown, or struck with a fork lift. Cartons can also become damaged from water. Damaged paper can cause jams, even when the damage is not immediately visible.

•Open ream wrappers - Moisture-proof wrappers may open due to mishandling or defective packaging. Paper that has gained or lost moisture can lead to paper handling and image quality problems.

•Paper dust, dirt particles, bits of paper, wrapper glue, fillers, or other materials used in paper production - Paper must be free of dirt and manufacturing by-products to run reliably and produce good image quality.
