Solution:

1Measure the curl of the paper.

  • Type of curl

    Face curl: The set paper is warped upward.

    Back curl: The set paper is warped downward.

  • Measurement of curl

    Load one sheet of paper on a flat surface, apply the scale to the leading edge of the paper, and measure the curl at the four edges. The maximum value is the curl value.

  • Curl standard

    Acceptable curl amount varies depending on the basic weight of the paper.

    Paper weight

    Curl amount

    Paper Weight 0 - 6

    Face curl: 10 mm

    Back curl: 10 mm

    Paper Weight 7

    Face curl: 10 mm

    Back curl: 5 mm

    Paper Weight 8

    Face curl: 10 mm

    Back curl: 3 mm

    Paper Weight 9

    Face curl: 10 mm

    Back curl: 0 mm

2Is the paper curl within the curl standard?

Yes

Proceed to Step 6.

No

Go to the next step.

3Place the curled surface down on a flat surface.
