Page 73: Media Storage
How do I store media? Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to load it. Media that has been stored for a long time out of its packaging may dry up too much and cause misfeeding. If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original pack- aging and store in a cool, dark place on a level surface.

Media matches the printer specifications. Media is flat, especially on the leading edge. The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface. You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity. You remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to avoid static buildup.
Page 104: Understanding The Media Path
Clearing Media Misfeeds To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any piece of media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the media path and cause further misfeeds. Do not reload media that has misfed.

Note Before opening and handling the dual in-line memory module (DIMM), first touch a metal part of the printer to avoid an electrostatic charge building up. When the DIMM is taken out of its conductive bag, hold it by its edges to avoid touching the electronic circuits. When handling the DIMM, be sure to place it on an anti-static mat or a piece of aluminum foil.
