Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
• For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. Most label
manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with relative humidity between
40 and 60%.
• Store paper in cartons when possible, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
• Store individual packages on a flat surface.
• Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.

The printer trays cannot distinguish between A5‑ and statement‑size paper when both sizes are loaded in the printer trays.
From the Size Sensing menu, specify which size you want the printer to detect. Load either A5‑ or statement‑size paper in
the paper trays, but not both.
2
This paper size is supported only when the source is non‑size sensing or when size sensing is disabled.

The printer trays cannot distinguish between B5‑ and Executive‑size paper when both sizes are loaded in the trays. From
the Size Sensing menu, specify which size you want the printer to detect. Load either B5‑ or Executive‑size paper in the
paper trays, but not both.
