Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, or other print materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on page 4.3.

Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser machines.

Avoid using the following media types:

-Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough

-Erasable bond paper

-Multi-paged paper

-Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

-Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your machine.

Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C. The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

Load special media types one sheet at a time through the tray to avoid paper jams.

To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.
