ABOUT PAPER

Conditioning paper

If the paper is moved from a storage area to a location with a different temperature and humidity, the paper should be conditioned to the new location before it is used.

All materials used in the copier/printer must be conditioned to the temperature/humidity of the room containing the copier/printer for optimum performance.

Paper Put paper in the same room as the copier/printer the night before it is used in the copier/printer.

Transparencies Leave transparencies in the same room as the copier/printer for 24 hours before they are used in the copier/printer.

Label stock Condition label stock for 72 hours in the copier/printer area before it is used in the copier/printer.

Separating the cartons or reams of paper (or boxes of transparencies or labels) from each other can accelerate the conditioning of materials.

Do not unseal the reams of paper until you are ready to load them into the machine.
