Managing your paper supply
• Start up the production system by following the Powering On
the Xerox Nuvera procedure in the Xerox Nuvera User Guide
and Training Aid online.
Conditioning paper to the printing environment
When paper is moved from a storage area to a print room, it must
be conditioned to the print room temperature before it is used.
Conditioning means allowing the paper to stand, unopened, in the
print room until its temperature matches the temperature of the
print room.
NOTE: Properly conditioning paper is the most important thing
you can do to improve paper handling.
Jamming, due to paper curl, and degraded image quality, due to
paper expansion, are common problems when paper is not
adequately conditioned.
The times in Table 2-3. should be considered minimum
conditioning times and must be followed to obtain optimum
performance.
Conditioning can be accelerated by removing the reams from the
cartons - but never open the reams until you are ready to print.
Loading paper into feeder trays
For the best possible paper handling and image quality, you must
use proper techniques when loading paper into feeder trays.
Each feeder tray has a stock loading label (Figure 2-2. and Figure
2-3.) that is visible when the tray is opened. Refer to the label for
help in loading different sizes and types of stock. Also refer to
Chapter 3, Tips by stock type, for tips on loading specific types of
stock.
