Paper care
Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is stored and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in the printer with a minimum of jams.
Storing paper Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present inside xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of curling, use paper with low moisture content. Paper with excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of the greater curl. The maximum recommended moisture content is 5.7 percent.
Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage area:
•Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.
•Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.
•Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.
•Always store paper in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
•Plan ahead and keep at least a day’s supply of paper in the same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization prior to printing.
