Paper handling
NOTE: Many suppliers use arrows on the product labels to 
indicate the preferred side to image first. Use this side (as 
signaled by the arrow) as equivalent to the seam side when 
loading the paper.
For the best performance, load paper with the seam side up in all 
the paper trays. The seam side is where the ream of paper is 
sealed.  Refer to the label on the paper ream.
Many factors affect the performance of paper, including room 
temperature, humidity, paper quality, dust, and the size of the 
image area.  If jams or paper curl problems occur, remove the 
paper from the paper tray, turn it over, place it back in the paper 
tray, and resume printing.  If the problem is rectified, continue to 
load your paper in the same manner.
If the problem is not rectified, load a new ream of paper and try the 
process again.  If the problem persists, your Administrator may go 
into the Administrator mode and try the different decurler 
settings.  If, after trying all the previous suggestions, the problem 
still persists, call your Xerox representative.
