Setting up the printer
Handling humidity–related paper problems
If paper is exposed to humidity levels outside the recommended range, take extra care to help protect it as follows.
•Load small amounts of paper rather than a whole package. Paper stored in the wrapper lasts longer.
•Wrap partial stacks of paper in its original plastic wrap, squeeze out the air, and tape the wrap shut. This will protect the paper from humidity, as well as from dust and dirt. Specs of dust and dirt on paper show up as much larger spots on prints.
•Avoid leaving paper in the printer overnight or on weekends.
If the problems persist, consider installing a humidifier or dehumidifier to bring the humidity at your site to within the acceptable range.
