Guidelines for shipping and storing print media
The performance of HP LaserJet printers depends on the condition of
the print media used. This section contains recommendations for
shipping and storing media, and provides information about
environmental effects on media.
Shipping media
When shipping print media through different environments, use
plastic wrap to wrap all cartons on the shipping pallet. When shipping
media across bodies of water, also wrap individual cartons.
Packaging must protect the media from physical damage.
Storing media
Follow these guidelines when stacking and storing print media:
l DO NOT store cartons or reams directly on the floor; place
cartons on a pallet or on shelves.
l DO NOT store individual reams in a manner that will result in
curling or warping.
l Rewrap partially used packages of media before storing.
l DO NOT stack more than six cartons on top of each other.
l Stack each carton squarely on top of the one underneath.
l Stack each carton upright.
l DO NOT place anything on top of media, regardless of whether
the paper is packaged or unpackaged.
l Store envelopes in a protective box to avoid damaging the
envelope edges.
l Keep stored media away from extremes in temperature and
humidity.
l DO NOT store printed documents in vinyl folders (which can
contain plasticizers) and do not expose the documents to
petroleum-based solvents.
