Paper lint has an influence on paper feed performance. Paper lint that adhered onto rubber surfaces reduces frictional force between papers and rubber rollers. Development of a simple and easy method evaluating the influence of paper lint on paper feed property is important. We propose a new evaluation method using sliding friction tests between papers and rubber rollers. We experimented the paper whose paper feed performance were already known and clarified the relationships between the frictional properties and paper feed performance. We confirmed that the coefficient of friction decreased with increase in quantity of paper lint adhesion onto rubber surfaces.
