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.

Page 109: 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 The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process.
