Handling and Storing Paper
Follow these recommendations to get the best performance and reduce system downtime.
To store and handle paper
Damaged, curled, or damp paper can cause jams and image quality problems. Follow these guidelines to store paper:
Before you load paper
Before loading paper, unwrap the paper from the moisture resistant wrapping, discard the wrapper and insert the paper in the tray (see
figure below for proper loading orientation). Fanning the paper edges is not required, but may be beneficial when using certain stocks in
dry environments.
Load the paper in paper trays 1 - 4 "seam side" of the ream up. "Seam side" refers to the side of the unwrapped ream containing the
seam.

●
Store paper in dry conditions, away from extreme heat or cold, such as radiators or open windows.
●
Lay unused paper on a shelf or pallet above the 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 conditions (i.e., left in a machine over an extended period of time) may have to be
replaced with fresh stock in order to ensure optimal feeding and image quality.
TIP:
If you are loading any type of drilled paper, to aid in sheet separation and to prevent jams, it may be helpful to fan reams
before loading them into the tray.
