Storing Blank Paper
Even standard paper may deteriorate if not stored correctly. Degraded paper can
cause paper feed problems and paper jams, and may reduce printing quality.
Observe the following guidelines when storing and handling paper:
IMPORTANT
•
Store paper away from moisture since paper quality deteriorates in a moist environment.
•
The paper wrapper around new paper acts to prevent dampness and drying. Leave the
wrapper intact until you are ready to use the paper. You should also re-wrap the wrapper
around paper that you do not use.
•
Store paper on a flat surface.
•
Do not store paper on the floor where water and moisture can accumulate.
•
Do not store paper in a place where it will curl or be creased.
•
Do not store paper vertically or store too many stacks of paper in one pile.
•
Do not store paper in places exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity.
•
If there are extreme differences in temperature between the storage area and the place
where the paper is used, leave the paper in the wrapper in the usage area for about a
day to allow the paper to adjust before using it. Rapid changes in temperature and
humidity can cause paper to curl or wrinkle.
Storing Printouts
Observe the following guidelines when handling or storing documents printed using
this printer.
IMPORTANT
•
Do not store in clear folders or with other PVC materials. This can dissolve the toner,
causing the paper to stick to the PVC material.
•
When gluing paper, be sure to use insoluble adhesive. The use of soluble adhesives can
cause the toner to dissolve. When you first use an adhesive, test it on an unneeded
printout before use.
Whenever you stack printouts, check that the documents are completely dry. If the
printouts are stacked before they are not completely dry, the toner may dissolve.
•
Store paper on a flat surface. If the paper becomes folded or wrinkled, the toner may
peel.
•
Do not store in a high temperature place. This can cause the toner to melt, making the
colors bleed.
•
If you are storing printouts for a long period of time (2 years or more), store them in a
binder, etc. (Long-term storage can make printouts appear discolored due to
discolorations in the paper.)
