2. Paper and paper trays

When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and 

curls toward the heat source. High coverage jobs tend to curl more 

due to the toner plastification effect on the paper surface. The 

system tries to reduce this by using mechanical devices within the 

paper path called decurlers.
Your system has been designed with an automatic curl control 

system that uses information such as: the amount of coverage on 

the page, paper weight, whether the paper is coated or uncoated, 

and the current humidity and temperature to determine the 

amount of pressure needed at the different decurlers to reduce 

output curl.
