Storing media

Use these media storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
•
For best results, store media where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
•
Store media in cartons when possible, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
•
Store individual packages of media on a flat surface.
•
Do not store anything on top of individual media packages.

Avoiding jams

The following hints can help you avoid jams:
•
Use only recommended media.

•
For detailed information about purchasing large quantities of customized media, see the Card Stock & Label
Guide.
•
Do not load too much media. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the indicated maximum height.
•
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled media.
•
Flex, fan, and straighten media before loading it.
•
Do not use media that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
•
Do not mix media sizes, weights, or types in the same stack.

Store the media in an appropriate environment.
