Xerox Nuvera Paper Guide

Managing your paper supply
• Edge welds (edges stuck together) - If edge welds are present,
the paper was not cut properly and will jam in the press.
• Creased, wrinkled, torn, or folded sheets - Sheets must be
intact and perfectly flat to run reliably.
• Drilled paper that does not separate easily, or has paper plugs
left in the holes - Drilled paper must be drilled cleanly to run
reliably in the system.
• Dust or chaff in perforated papers, or areas around
perforations that are not flat - Perforated papers should be free
of paper dust and chaff (bits of paper), which can contaminate
the system. The bulge beneath the perforations should be
flattened as much as possible to avoid paper jams and image
quality problems.
Handling paper
Even the best papers can be rendered useless by improper
handling. Paper damage, caused by poor handling, may not be
apparent until feeding or image quality problems occur.
Protect your paper investment by following these paper handling
tips:
• Never drop, throw, or strike cartons with a forklift.
• Handle individual reams gently and carefully.
• Never place a carton or ream of paper on its side or edge.
• When stacking cartons or reams, place them carefully on top
of one another to avoid crushing the edges.
• Store paper on surfaces that are flat and smooth to avoid
damage to the bottom sheets.
• To avoid damaging paper, never stack cartons and pallets too
high. Coated papers are especially susceptible to damage due
to the smooth surfaces and increased weight. Follow the
guidelines in Table 2-1. when stacking cartons and pallets.
