Paper Storage Guidelines

Providing a good environment, and safe handling and storage conditions for your paper contributes to ultimate print quality.

Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.

Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

Avoid light, heat, and dampness.

Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than outside walls where moisture can collect.

Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.

Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave paper in the original packaging, and leave the packages in the shipping carton. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

Phaser media is sold with appropriate packaging to prevent transportation problems and to promote positive customer results. Some Phaser media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag and reseal it for protection.

Your printer is designed to be used with a variety of paper types. For more information about supported papers, go to Reference/Printing/Supported Papers on the User Documentation CD- ROM.
