Printer and Paper Storage
Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed
operation.
Ideally , the printer and paper storage environment should be at
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.
Re m em b er that pape r is hy groscopic; it absorbs and loses
moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to
condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners
remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened
and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.
Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to
increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any
excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as
paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This
can cause paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which
can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to
larg e s u pplies o f paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition
is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45%
to 55%. The follo win g gu i d eline s sh o u ld b e co ns i der ed when
evaluating the paper's storage environment:
• P ap e r sho ul d be store d at or near room tempe rature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap
it tightly in its moisture-pr o of wrapping . If the printer
envir onment is sub ject to extremes, u nwrap only the
amount of paper to be used during the day's operation to
prevent unwanted moisture changes.
