Paper care

Storing paper
A-10
Once you have purchased your paper, you must be sure it is
stored and conditioned properly, so that it performs optimally in
the printer with a minimum of jams.
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.
