Maintaining the printer for long-term storage

If the printer will be turned off a month or longer, remove the fuser first and close the upper door. Store the fuser in a convenient place. See Removing the fuser for long-term storage for instructions.

Storing supplies

Use the following guidelines for proper storage.

Storing media

These help avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality:

For best results, store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

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

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

Do not place anything on top of the media packages.

Leave media in its package until ready to be used.
