Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:

•For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60%.

•Store paper in cartons when possible, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.

•Store individual packages on a flat surface.

•Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.

Supported paper sizes, types, and weights

The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper sources and the types of paper they support. Note: For an unlisted paper size, select the closest larger listed size.

Paper sizes supported by the printer

Notes:

•Your printer model may have a 650-sheet duo drawer, which consists of a 550-sheet tray and an integrated 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. The 550-sheet tray part of the 650-sheet duo drawer supports the same paper as the optional 550-sheet tray. The integrated multipurpose feeder supports different paper sizes, types, and weights.

•The optional 550-sheet tray is not available for all printer models.
