Media That Can Damage Your Printer; Paper Storage Guidelines - Xerox EC70 User Manual

• Do not open sealed packages of glossy paper until you are ready to load them into the printer.
• Store glossy paper flat in the original packaging.
• Before you load the glossy paper, remove all other paper from the tray.
• Load only the amount of glossy paper you plan to use. Remove the unused portion from the tray
when you are finished printing. Replace the unused portion in the original wrapper and seal for
later use.
• Rotate stock frequently. Long periods of storage in extreme conditions can cause glossy paper to
curl and jam in the printer.

The printer is designed to use various paper and media types for print jobs. However, some media can
cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to the printer.
Do not use the following:
• Rough or porous media
• Inkjet paper
• Paper that has been photocopied
• Paper that has been folded or wrinkled
• Paper with cutouts or perforations
• Stapled paper
• Envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips
• Padded envelopes
• Plastic media

To contribute to optimum print quality, you can provide good storage conditions for the paper and
other media.
• Store paper in dark, cool, and relatively dry locations. Most paper is susceptible to damage from
ultraviolet and visible light. The sun and fluorescent bulbs emit ultraviolet light, which can damage
the paper.
• The intensity and length of exposure to visible light on paper is reduced as much as possible.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Avoid storing paper in attics, kitchens, garages, or basements. These spaces are more likely to
collect moisture.
• Store paper flat, either on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
• Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
• Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave
stored paper in the original packaging. The paper wrapper usually contains an inner lining that
protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
