Paper Storage
Paper is normally shipped in fiberboard cartons. The number of reams in a carton depends on the size of the paper. If a large quantity of paper has been ordered, the cartons are stacked on wooden pallets.
Mishandled cartons (e.g., dropped, thrown, or struck with a fork lift), may result in damaged paper, some of which may not be immediately obvious. The use of damaged paper increases the frequency of paper jams and other feeding problems.
Do not store the cartons directly on the floor; this increases the possibility of moisture absorption. Store the cartons on pallets, shelves, or in cabinets in an area protected from extremes of temperature and humidity.
Do not open the sealed reams of paper until the paper is to be loaded into the copier/printer. Leave the paper in the original ream wrapper, and leave the reams in the shipping carton.

Paper from an unopened ream will provide excellent performance.
When paper from an opened ream will not be used for a period of time, such as overnight, the ream wrapper should be
Do not store paper in the Bypass Tray (also called Tray 5). Load only enough paper in the Bypass Tray for the job being run.
