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 3-4 and 3-6 of 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.
