Routine maintenance
Table 3-1. Paper conditioning
Example: If you want to move ten cartons of paper from a storage
area with a temperature of 90
o
F. to an operating area with a
temperature of 70
o
F. (a 20
o
difference), you should do so at least
18 hours before using the paper.
Paper curl
Before the manufacturer cuts paper into sheets, it is stored on
large rolls. After it is cut and packaged, it retains some of the curl
from the rollers.
Although it is unnecessary to load paper with the curl facing up or
down, best results occur when you are consistent. For example, if
you open paper with the wrapper seam up, always load it in the
tray that way.
