Clearing Paper Jams
If the fax paper jams, DO NOT pull it out.
Doing so could damage your fax unit. To
properly clear a fax paper jam, open the
paper cover by pulling the release button
towards the front of the unit. Then,
remove the jammed paper.
Reload the fax paper as described in
“Loading Fax Paper.”

Fax Paper Storage
Fax paper has chemicals in it that can, over time, cause yellowing, fading, and curling.
Following these storage guidelines should keep your received faxes and your unused fax
paper serviceable as long as possible.
l
To extend its shelf-life, store unopened
packages of thermal paper at or below
76°F and 65% humidity. If the
package has been opened, store it
away from direct light. Heat and
humidity darken the background of
thermal paper.
l Avoid storing faxes in contact with
blueprint (diazo) copies and plastic film
or binders. The chemicals in these
materials may fade the image.
l Avoid storing faxes with the imaged
side together. The printed image may
transfer from one copy to the other.
l Store your received faxes away from
direct sunlight and at a temperature
below 105ºF. Heat and humidity
darken the background and fade the
image.
l
Avoid applying tape to the imaged area
on faxes. The chemicals in some
transparent tape adhesives may fade
the image
For indefinite storage, copy your
received faxes using a standard
office copy machine, and store
the copy instead of the original
fax. Documents on plain copy
paper are less prone to the
decay that sometimes affects
faxes.
