Storing paper

Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent. Most label
manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60
percent.
•
Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
•
Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
• Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and wrapper help keep
the paper clean, dry, and flat.

Avoiding jams

Load paper properly
•
Make sure paper lies flat in the tray.
