15. Media Usage/Compatibility
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8500 III Series maintain reliable, predictable, and
high-quality output. Consistency of the output is dependent on knowing and
compensating for variables of a print job. The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8500 III
Series incorporate many control systems, which compensate for environmental
and print process conditions. Another variable is the print media. Knowing the
characteristics of the media guarantees optimal print output.

15.2 Paper Handling and Storage
•
The permissible humidity range for paper storage is 30% to 70% (with a room
temperature of 68°F to 80.6°F (20°C to 27°C)). Storing paper in a location that
does not meet these specifications may affect paper feeding and image quality.
•
Only use paper that has fully acclimatized to the environment in which the
machine is installed. Using paper that has been stored in a different
environment (with a different temperature and humidity), may cause paper jams
or result in poor print quality.
•
We recommend using paper immediately after opening the package. Rewrap
any remaining paper in its original package, and store it on a flat surface.
•
Before loading paper, make sure to fan the sheets thoroughly so that air runs
through the sheets, as shown in the diagrams below.
