Solution
Recommendations below are specific to the paper sizes mentioned in this article;
- LEF tray-loading orientation
- Paper-grain orientation
- Media (paper) weight
Paper Size
General Grain Rule
Paper grain running in a direction that is parallel to the printer's paper path will almost always will be more resistant to curl, however, there can be exceptions based on paper dimensions.
Orientation into the printer | Recommended |
---|
Long edge first (LEF) | Short grain, For example, 5.8" x 8.3" |
Short edge first (SEF) | Long grain, For example, 5.8" x 8.3" |
Long grain
- Grain running parallel with the longest measurement of a sheet of paper (grain long)
Short grain
- Grain running at right angles to the longest measurement of a sheet of paper (grain short)
In this case, the paper's overall side-to-side beam strength, grain direction, and original LEF feed orientation contributed to this 202.03 error.
