Storing Paper

The quality of paper may deteriorate if it is stored improperly even when the printer meets the normal speciﬁcations. Deteriorated paper may cause misfeeds, paper jams, or deterioration in print quality.

Observe the following guidelines for storing and handling paper:

IMPORTANT

•

Store paper away from moisture since paper quality deteriorates in a moist environment.

•

Paper wrappers help avoiding moisture and dryness. Keep paper in the wrapper until it is ready to be used. Store all unused paper in a wrapper.

•

Store paper on a ﬂat surface.

•

Do not store paper on the ﬂoor where water and moisture can accumulate.

•

Avoid physical damage to stored paper.

•

Do not store paper vertically or store too many stacks of paper in one pile.

•

Avoid direct sunlight and a humid or dry place when storing paper.

•

If the paper storage room and work area differ from each other signiﬁcantly in temperature or humidity, keep packed paper stack in the work area for at least one day prior to printing so that it can adapt to the new environment. When paper is moved to a location where the temperature or humidity differs signiﬁcantly, the paper may curl or become creased.

Storing Printouts

2-8

When handling or storing printouts printed by this printer, be careful of the following points:

IMPORTANT

•

Avoid storing printouts with PVC materials such as clear folders. Toner may melt and stick to the PVC material.

•

Use insoluble adhesive when gluing printouts. Toner may melt when insoluble adhesive is used. Before using the adhesive, test it with paper that is no longer required. Conﬁrm that the printouts are completely dry before placing one over another. Toner may melt if they are placed together half-dried.

•

Store paper on a ﬂat surface. Toner may peel when they are folded or creased.

•

Avoid storing printouts at high temperatures. Otherwise toner may melt and blot.

•

Put printouts in a binder when storing them for a long period of time (two years or longer). (Printouts may discolor when they are stored for a long period of time.)
