Part No. 4B1709 March 1995
Paper
For highest image quality, follow these paper storage instructions:
D
Store opened paper at temperatures below 77_F (25_C). Avoid
exposure to temperatures higher than 100_F (38_C).
D
Relative humidity level for storing and using paper should be between
40% and 60%. Relative humidity lower than 20% or higher than 76%
should be avoided even for short periods of time. Print paper can
tolerate a relative humidity between 20% and 40% and between 60%
and 76% for up to a few hours without curling.
High relative humidity tends to cause paper to curl toward its image
side. Low relative humidity tends to cause paper to curl away from its
image side. Low relative humidity also tends to increase static
attraction of dust and dirt.
D
Keep the bottom stiffener board in place when handling stacks of
paper to avoid fingerprints on the printing surface.
D
Avoid storing loose stacks of paper out of their wrapper.
D
Do not use wet or damaged stock.
D
Keep the lid on the paper tray and the paper tray inserted in the printer
to protect media from exposure to light, dust, and dirt.
If you experience humidity-related paper problems, refer to Chapter 4,
Correcting problems, for additional storage recommendations.
