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 are moisture-proof. 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 to prevent it from creasing or curling.
•
Do not store paper on the floor where water and moisture can accumulate.
•
Avoid physical damage to stored paper.
•
Do not store a paper stack vertically or leaning on another object.
•
Avoid direct sunlight and moisture when storing paper.
•
If the paper storage room and work area differ significantly in temperature or humidity,
keep the paper 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 that differs significantly in
temperature or humidity, it may curl or get creased.
Storing Color Print Paper
When handling or storing color printouts printed by this printer, be careful of the
following points:
IMPORTANT
•
Avoid storing color prints with PVC materials such as clear folders. Toner may melt and
stick to the PVC material.
•
Use insoluble adhesive when gluing color prints. Toner may melt when insoluble
adhesive is used. Before using the adhesive, test it with paper that is no longer required.
•
Confirm that the color prints are completely dry before placing one over another. Toner
may melt if they are placed together half-dried.
•
Store color prints on a flat surface to avoid creasing or curling. Toner may peel when they
are folded or creased.
•
Avoid storing color prints at high temperatures. Otherwise toner may melt and blot.
•
Put color prints in a binder when storing them for a long period of time (more than two
years). Color prints may discolor when they are stored for a long period of time.
