12 Tips for successful printing

Storing paper

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.

If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.

Do not place anything on top of paper packages.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

Direct sunlight

Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)

High humidity (above 80%)

Salty air

Corrosive gases

Heavy dust

Avoiding jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.
