Delivered Sheets Are Severely Curled

Sheets with downward curls cause strong friction at their leading edges. This may result in paper misfeeds. Sheets will not be ejected completely and the trailing edges will be left inside the paper exit.

If this happens, other sheets may slip under the delivered sheets, so that the delivered sheets may be curled when loaded.

A4 or larger coated paper weighing up to 135 g/m2 (50 lb. Cover) is used.

1. An uncurled sheet is delivered to the stacker shift tray.

   

2. Strong friction occurs at the trailing edge so that the paddle cannot pull the sheet back and align the edges of the sheet with those of the stack.

   

3. The paper edge stopper fails to push back the protruding leading edge and align the sheet as required.

   

4. Stacked sheets are not aligned properly.

   

1. Load the sheets the other way up.
