Recommendations for handling, loading, and storing paper

Give your paper the proper handling, loading, and storage.

Loading and handling

Before loading paper, unwrap the paper from the moisture resistant wrappings, discard the wrapper and insert the paper in the tray. If it is special stock such as punched paper follow the orientation label on the tray or the recommendations in Tables 3-4and 3-6of this chapter. Fanning the paper edges is not required, but may be beneficial with certain stocks in dry environments.

Damaged, curled, or damp paper can cause jams and image quality problems.

Storing

Follow these simple rules for storing paper:

Store paper in dry conditions, away from extreme heat or cold, such as radiators or open windows.

Lay the paper flat on a shelf or pallet above floor level.

If possible, leave the paper wrapped and boxed until you are ready to use it; otherwise, re-wrap partly used packages of paper.

NOTE: Paper stored in extremely humid environments (for example, left in a printer over an extended period of time) may have to be replaced with fresh stock in order to ensure optimal feeding and image quality.
