Store Paper and Other Media

It is important for optimum printing that paper is stored correctly. Take note of the following when storing media.

• Store at ambient temperature. Damp paper may cause problems or poor image quality.

• In most air conditioned offices the ambient (room) temperature and humidity is fairly constant and is suitable for storing paper. If your office is very warm or humid it’s best to store the paper in another area where it can be kept between 20-24.5°C at 35-55% relative humidity. Paper that is not stored near the machine should be left in its’ wrapper by the device to acclimatise for 1 hour before use (to reduce the chance of the paper curling when heated by the device).

• Do not open reams of paper until they are required for use. The ream wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture.

• Store on a flat surface to prevent the paper from folding or curling.

• Stack reams of paper carefully on top of one another to avoid crushing the edges. Do not stack more than five reams on top of each other.

• For more information on paper storage see the Xerox website www.xerox.com/printer-supplies/paper-stock/paper-storage/enlu.html.

It is important for optimum printing that paper is stored and loaded correctly. Take note of the following when loading media.

• Do not use folded or wrinkled papers.

• Do not load paper of varied sizes into the tray.

• If feed problems occur, fan the media or shuffle labels before loading.

• The tray capacities have been designed so that you can insert whole packets of paper. Always load the complete ream rather than leaving some paper remaining in the opened wrapper (as the opened paper left in the wrapper will pick up moisture from the air and become more likely to cause jams when eventually used).
