Decurler Overview

KEY POINT: Please read all the Decurler information before using

the Decurler E Table Settings (E1 - E6) procedure.

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

curls toward the heat source. High toner coverage jobs tend to

curl more than low toner coverage jobs. The system tries to

reduce this by using mechanical devices within the paper path

called Decurlers.

Paper curl is caused by many variables, including, but not in any

particular order:

• 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.

• How the paper is loaded in the tray. Make sure you load the

paper as instructed on the ream wrapper.

• The atmospheric conditions of the room where the paper is

stored and where the printer is located, especially those

related to humidity and temperature.

• The heat generated during the fusing processes.

Your system is designed with several automated settings to

control curl. When using these settings the machine automatically

sends paper through the proper Decurler:

• System Default: Automatically determines the amount of

pressure needed at the different decurlers in order to reduce

the output curl of the paper.

• Paper Type A, B, C, and D settings: Preset Decurler settings,

which are manually selected as an alternative to the System

Default setting. See “Decurler Paper Type A - D Settings” on

page 3.

KEY POINT: While paper curl is caused by many variables, it is

important to understand that the preset and custom Decurler

profile settings use lookup tables for curl control that are based on

the job’s percentage of toner area coverage and the printer’s

humidity values, only.

With some print jobs, the output prints still may be curled more

than you desire even after using the Decurler Paper Type A-D

settings. In those cases, use the Decurler E Table Settings

feature to compensate for paper curl in your prints. The Decurler E

Table settings are based on job type and percentage of toner area

coverage. These settings are manually entered. See “Decurler E

Table Settings” on page 8.

KEY POINT: If a Decurler profile setting is changed, it remains at

that setting until changed again manually. As an example, if you

decide to use the Paper Type B Decurler setting, the setting will

remain at Paper Type B until you change it to another setting.

KEY POINT: It is important to remember that a successful

Decurler setting used today may not be the same setting that you

would use on another day for the same file. This is especially

relevant if the room in which printer is located experiences

changes in temperature and humidity.

Decurler Paper Path

The Decurler has both upper and lower adjustment arms that

apply pressure to the paper based on system defaults, selections

made on the Decurler Setup screen (Paper Type A-D settings), or

based on entries made on the Decurler E Table Settings screen.

The degree of pressure is applied independently to the upward

and downward Decurler arms.

Decurler Paper Type A - D Settings

If paper curl is a problem, using one of the preset Decurler Paper

Type A-D Profile Settings usually eliminates the problem.

However, due to the broad range of paper variables, image

coverage, and environmental factors, these default settings may

not result in satisfactory performance.

KEY POINT: While paper curl is caused by many variables, it is

important to understand that the preset and custom Decurler

profile settings use lookup tables for curl control that are based on

the job’s percentage of toner area coverage and the printer’s

humidity values, only.

Visit the www.xerox.com web site and refer to the latest

Recommended Materials List (RML) for your digital press:

• To determine if Xerox has tested your paper type and weight

• View the recommended Decurler Paper Type A - D settings for

particular paper types.

The following table shows examples of the Decurler A - D Profile

settings for particular stocks, which were taken directly from the

Recommended Materials List for the DocuColor 8000/7000:

NOTE: The settings recommended in the “Recommended

Materials List for DocuColor 8000/7000” were developed from

testing a wide range of paper samples, percentage of toner area

coverage, and environments. The outcome of this testing is the

preset parameters shown in the list, and these parameters refer to

how particular papers interact with the digital press decurling

system.

If the System Default setting is not correcting curl, then you can

use one of the Decurler Paper Type A - D settings, See “Decurler

Paper Type A - D procedure” on page 4. For example:

• If the System Default is not correcting curl, select Decurler

Paper Type A.

• If Decurler Paper Type A is not correcting curl, select Decurler

Paper Type B.

• If Decurler Paper Type B is not correcting curl, select Decurler

Paper Type C.

• If Decurler Paper Type C is not correcting curl, select Decurler

Paper Type D.

• If System Default and Decurler Paper Type A, B, C, and D do

not correct curl, you can use the Decurler E Table Settings,

See “Decurler E Table Settings” on page 8.

Decurler Paper Type A - D procedure

If after using the System Default setting paper curl is still

unacceptable, select an alternate Decurler Paper Type A - D

setting:

1. At the controller, logon to the Tools menu as Administrator.

a. Press the Access button.

b. Enter the Administrator password.

NOTE: The default Administrator password is 11111. This

password may be changed to fit your needs.

c. Press Enter.

2. The Pathway Option screen opens. Select the Tools Pathway

button.

3. From the Tools Mode window, press:

a. Machine Defaults 2 tab.

b. Decurler Setup button.

4. The Decurler Setup screen opens.

a. From the Paper Tray menu, select the tray that contains

the paper you are using on the job. The default selection is

Tray 1.

NOTE: If you have an optional SFM attached, Trays 3 and 4 also appear

on this screen.

b. Select the job’s stock coating: Uncoated or Coated.

c. Make a selection from the Paper Weight range menu.

d. The default Paper Type is automatically applied by the

printer for the Paper Tray, Coating and Paper Weight

values you entered. Select an alternate Paper Type from

Paper Type A through Paper Type D to change the amount

of decurling applied. As an example, if the system

automatically selects Type B, select Type C.

NOTE: The Type E settings are custom entered values that

are explained later in this section. While the Type E settings

can be selected, they need to be programmed prior to

selection. See “Decurler E Table Settings” on page 8.

e. Touch the Close button to save your selections and return

to the Machine Defaults 2 screen.

NOTE: Touch the Reset button on the Decurler Setup screen to

return to the settings established when you first accessed the

screen. As an example, if the system automatically selected Type

B and you changed it to Type C, the system will return the setting

to Type B.
