Paper is fed into the printer with the long side as the leading
edge. When you purchase paper, buy long-grain paper. Make
sure the grain is parallel with the long side (long grain) for the
most reliable feeding and stacking.

Storing paper

Paper has a tendency to curl under the heat that is present
inside xerographic equipment. To minimize the amount of
curling, use paper with low moisture content. Paper with
excessive moisture content has a tendency to jam because of
the greater curl. The maximum recommended moisture content
is 5.7 percent.
Keep these points in mind when preparing your paper storage
area:
• Store paper in its own wrapper; do not leave it unwrapped or
where it can be damaged by dampness or heat.
• Store paper on a flat surface and not on its side or edge.
• Store reams of paper in a closed cabinet.
• Always store paper in a cool, dry area. Store on pallets or
shelves, not on the floor.
• Plan ahead and keep at least a day's supply of paper in the
same area as the printer to allow environmental stabilization
prior to printing.
Dry ink (also referred to as toner) is the black powder which
forms the image on the printed page. There are three cartridges
of dry ink in each carton. You should keep at least one extra
cartridge on hand at all times. The disposable cartridges are
easily changed with no mess. The consumption rate of Xerox dry
ink is approximately one cartridge per 45,000 pages. Use only
dry ink that is specified for use in the DocuTech printer as
described in the consumable supplies table.
