Storing the Printer
What do I do when storing the printer for an extended period?
1 Turn off the printer.
2 Unplug the printer’s power cords and interface cables.
3 Remove the toner cartridge from the printer and return it to its original
packaging. If the original packaging is not available, protect the toner
cartridge from light and from spilling toner.
4 Remove the media from all media tray(s).
Introduction
1
How do I care for media?
If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging
and store in a cool, dark place.
When storing media, avoid
! Moisture, excess humidity
Keep media between 30% to 65% relative humidity. Toner does not
adhere well to moist or wet paper
On the other hand, media that has been stored for a long time without
staying in its packaging may dry up too much and also cause jamming.
! Direct sunlight
! Excess heat (up to 86° F/30° C)
! Dust
! Leaning against other objects or placed in an upright position
Store the media in a dust-free area protected from humidity.
