Paper and specialty media guidelines

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.

The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper sources and the types of paper they support.

2This paper size is supported only when the source is nonsize sensing or when size sensing is disabled.

3The printer trays cannot distinguish between B5and Executivesize paper when both sizes are loaded in the trays. From the Size Sensing menu, specify which size you want the printer to detect. Load either B5or Executivesize paper in the paper trays, but not both.
