which this feature is used. These circumstances include:
If you use 3-hole, predrilled paper on a regular basis and
continually encounter an inordinate amount of paper jams, and/or
If you regularly run tab stock and continually encounter paper
jams.
• Carbonless papers are coated with several functional coatings
which promote the image transfer through the form set and
enable the form sets to separate appropriately after padding
with a special adhesive. Each supplier of xerographic
carbonless paper has developed their own unique chemistry,
which is why the following procedure enabling this application,
works best with Xerox Premium Digital Carbonless Paper.
• In order to avoid problems when running carbonless media,
you may use the NVM Read/Write feature to switch on the

Productivity Setting
The productivity of the digital press relates to the continuous
speed of the media output as measured in prints per minute
(ppm). The continuous speed is dependent on paper size, paper
weight, and fuser temperature.
Use this setting to optimize the throughput speed for the type of
paper you run most frequently. Productivity Setting options are
shown and explained in the following illustration:
Single Paper Weight: This setting optimizes the throughput speed for light weight or
heavy weight papers, according to the weight range that is set in
the paper tray.
Mixed Paper Weight This setting optimizes the throughput speed of print jobs that
contain mixed media weights from different paper trays.

Decurler Setup and Decurler E Table Settings
When paper is exposed to heat, the paper loses moisture and
curls toward the heat source. High toner 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.
With some print jobs, the output prints still may be curled more
than you desire. In cases like these, use the Decurler Setup and
Decurler E Table Settings features to compensate for paper curl in
your prints.
Paper curl is caused by many variables, including:
• The manufacturer’s brand of paper and the manufacturing lot
• The weight of the paper and whether it is coated or uncoated
• The amount of dry ink/toner and the area being covered on a
sheet; the heavier the coverage, the greater the tendency to
curl
• The atmospheric conditions of the room where the paper is
stored
• The atmospheric conditions of the room where the digital
press is located
• The heat generated during the fusing processes
1-36
DocuColor 8000/7000 System Administration Guide
The digital press is equipped with an automatic curl control system
that uses the variables listed above to determine the amount of
pressure needed at different Decurlers to reduce the curl.
KEY POINT: If you notice that output prints have too much curl,
first try flipping over the stack of paper in the paper tray being
used. You can also try running the job from a different tray. If curl is
still a problem, refer to the Decurler Settings A-D table on the next
page for your market area to change the default Decurler settings.
Decurler Specifications
The Decurler has both top and bottom adjustment arms that apply
pressure to the paper based on the selections made on the

independently to the top and bottom Decurler arms.

The settings in the above table were developed from testing a
wide range of paper samples, toner area coverages, and
environments. The outcome of this testing is the preset
parameters shown in the table, and the parameters refer to how
particular papers interact with the digital press decurling system.
1-38
DocuColor 8000/7000 System Administration Guide
If paper curl is a problem, using one of these preset parameters
usually eliminates the problem. However, due to the broad range
of paper variables, image coverage, and environmental factors,
these defaults settings may not result in satisfactory performance.
If paper curl is interfering with digital press performance, begin by
adjusting the decurler settings by selecting an alternate Decurler
Paper Type A through Type D. If the problem continues,
additional decurler settings are available and identified as
Decurler Paper Types E1 through E6.
NOTE: Bef ore using the E1-E6 Decurler Types, you must set up
the desired E Type setting by following the instructions in Decurler

An E Table Settings window (for the specific Decurler Type

• The values in the above six windows control a mechanism
in the digital press that compensates for the curl formed in
the fusing process; this is done by inducing an equal but
opposite curl in the paper. It is similar to passing a sheet
over a sharp radius, and thereby producing a curl in the
direction of the radius.
• The paper curl values that you recorded earlier from your
calculations determine the values in the six windows in the
above screen.
• The six windows are divided into two categories (Lower
and Upper) with each having three discrete set points of
10 mm, 6 mm, and 2 mm. Each category is used to
address upwards or downwards curl direction.
For example, paper that is "cupped" or curled upwards is
adjusted using the Upper category of settings. Paper that
is "bridged" or curled downwards is adjusted using the
Lower category of settings.

Custom Paper Setup
Different media (including paper type, weight, and coating/
uncoating) may require specific handling by the digital press as it
is moving through the paper path. For example, some media
types may skew or curl as they progress through the printing path
of the digital press. This may occur on frequently-run jobs and/or
jobs with a high volume output.
The Custom Paper Setup feature allows you set custom paper
profiles for different types of media and jobs, such as outlined in
the above example. These profiles may be used at point of need
in order to ensure optimum output quality of your prints/jobs.
By setting custom paper profiles for specific media types, you can
avoid output prints that are skewed, curled, have too much toner
or not enough toner in areas, or images that are not registered
properly on the output print, such as Side 1 and/or Side 2 images
that are misregistered.

Alignment Adjustment
When printing duplex jobs and using different media types
(including paper type, weight, and coating/uncoating), the output
may require specific handling by the digital press as it is moving
through the paper path. With certain media types and duplex jobs,
the images on Side 1 and/or Side 2 may be misregistered,
skewed, perpendicularly misaligned, or stretched.
As with the Custom Paper Setup feature, Alignment Adjustment
feature allows you to create and store a maximum of twenty
different Alignment Adjustment Profiles. These profiles allow you
to accommodate different media types and how the image is
registered, aligned, or magnified for Side 1 and Side 2
output. These profiles may be used at point of need in order to
ensure optimum output quality of your print.
NOTE: You can create Alignment Profiles without associating
them to a specific Custom Paper Profile. The reverse is also
true: You can create an Alignment Profile and associate it to a
specific Custom Paper Profile. For example, Custom Paper
Profile 2 may be affiliated with Alignment Profile 2, so that when
Custom Paper Profile 2 is in use, so is Alignment Profile 2.
