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 percent. Most label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60 percent.

Store paper in cartons, 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.

Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and wrapper help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.

Supported paper sizes, types, and weights

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

Note: For an unlisted paper size, select the closest larger listed size.

Supported paper sizes

Note: Your printer model may have a 650sheet duo tray, which consists of a 550sheet tray and an integrated

100sheet multipurpose feeder. The 550sheet tray of the 650sheet duo tray supports the same paper sizes as the optional 550sheet tray. The integrated multipurpose feeder supports different paper sizes, types, and weights.
