Storing Paper

The quality of paper may deteriorate if it is stored improperly even when the paper
meets the normal specifications. Inferior paper may cause misfeeds, paper jams, or
deterioration in print quality.
Observe the following guidelines when storing and handling paper:
IMPORTANT
Store paper away from moisture.
•
Paper wrappers help avoiding moisture and dryness. Keep paper in the wrapper until it is
•
ready to be used. Store all unused paper in a wrapper.
Store paper on a flat surface.
•
Do not store paper on the floor where water and moisture can accumulate.
•
When you store paper, prevent it from curling or being folded.
•
Do not store paper vertically or store too many stacks of paper in one pile.
•
Do not store paper in places exposed to direct sunlight or places with low humidity.
•
If the paper storage room and work area differ from each other significantly in
•
temperature or humidity, keep packed paper stack in the work area for at least one day
prior to printing so that it can adapt to the new environment. When paper is moved to a
location where the temperature or humidity differs significantly, the paper may curl or
become creased.
