ABOUT PAPER

Stacking

If the cartons or individual reams are to be stacked, they should be placed carefully on top of one another to avoid crushing the edges or causing any other damage.

The cartons should be stacked no more than five cartons high.

Pallets of paper may be stacked three high.

Temperature and humidity

The temperature of the room where paper is stored can have a significant effect on how that paper performs in the copier/printer.

The control of humidity is one of the most important precautions that can be taken to ensure proper paper handling in the machine.

Paper should be stored within the following conditions:

Air conditioned Most environments with air conditioning systems provide the proper combination of temperature and humidity for good paper performance.

Non-air conditioned Use the following guidelines for storing paper in non-air conditioned environments:

•

•

Minimum: 50° F (10° C) at 15% relative humidity.

Maximum: 81° F (27.2° C) at 85% relative humidity.
