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.
