Printer and Paper Storage Environment

 

Envelopes

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. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; 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 large supplies of 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 following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the paper’s storage environment:

•Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

•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-proof wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

•Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lbs), otherwise, jamming may occur.

•Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl.

•Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

•Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer.

•Size: Use only envelopes within the following size ranges.

Note: You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length of less than 127 mm (5 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, insure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page A.6.
