Paper Storage; Saving Printouts - Ricoh IM C6500 User Manual

9. Adding Paper and Toner
• Thin paper with little stiffness
• Paper with a dusty surface
Do not use the copied or printed paper again. It may cause paper jam.
If you use paper curled by humidity or drying, the paper or staple may jam.
Do not load sheets that have already been printed onto by another machine. Doing so may
interfere with loading of paper because the powder for preventing offset may attach to the paper
roller.
• A paper jam may occur depending on the condition of the paper even when using the
recommended paper.

Paper Storage

When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed:
• Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Store all your paper in the same environment - a room where the temperature is 20–25°C (68–
77°F) and the humidity is 30–65%.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Do not store paper vertically.
• Once opened, store paper in a plastic bag.

Saving Printouts

• Prints will fade if exposed to strong light or dampness and humidity for extended periods of time.
Preserve the quality of your copies by storing them in a binder in a dark, dry place.
• When folding prints, toner in the folds will come off.
• If the prints are stored in the conditions described below, toner may melt:
• When a print and a half-dried print are put on top of each other
• When solvent-type adhesive agents are used for pasting prints
• When prints are placed on mats made of chlorinated plastic in locations of high temperature
for long periods of time
• When prints are placed in locations of extremely high temperatures, such as near a heater
