Xerox Versant 4100 Press - Excessive Paper Curl on Printed Output

Solution
• Do not fill the paper trays above the MAX fill line indicator.
• Remove the paper from the tray and fan the sheets to separate the joined sheets.
• Predrilled (hole-punched) sheets may stick together at the holes. Remove the paper from the
tray and fan the sheets to separate the joined sheets.
• Paper and transparencies may stick together if environmental conditions are too dry and cause
excessive static. Increase the humidity level in the room to minimize static.
• Gently fan transparencies to separate the sheets before you load them.
• If the problem is from Trays 6 and 7 or 8 and 9, refer to Multifeeds, Misfeeds, and Paper Jams
in Trays 6–9.

Problem
The printed output has excessive paper.
Solution
Potential impacts include:
• Incorrect paper weight or type selected; ensure that the correct paper weight and paper type
are selected
• The mass amount of dry ink/toner coverage on the print output; the greater amount of the dry
ink/toner mass, the more the paper curls
• The paper weight and whether or not it is coated or uncoated
• The humidity conditions at the press
• An attempt to print on thicker paper or on paper stock that is less sensitive to moisture
Reducing potential impacts:
• You can minimize curl problems by flipping the paper over in the tray. If excessive curl is still
present, use a heavier paper.
• To ensure continuous production, empty the output device when the output approaches the
maximum amount that the device can hold; refer to the specifications for that output device
for output limit amount.
– The Offset Catch Tray (OCT) holds a maximum capacity of 500 sheets of 24 lb., 90 g/m

paper.
– For all other optional finishing devices, for output specifications, refer to the respective
finishing device section.
Paper curl can be adjusted in the following ways:
• If the Interface Decurler Module is attached, use the manual decurl buttons on the module
control panel. Refer to Interface Decurler Module (IDM).
• Refer to Paper Curl Correction.
