Tips for successful printing
Storing paper
Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.
• Store paper in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the
relative humidity is 40%.
• Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf rather than directly on the floor.
• If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a
flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
• Do not place anything on top of paper packages.
Storing supplies
Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original
packaging until you are ready to use them.
Do not expose supplies to:
• Direct sunlight
• Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)
• High humidity (above 80%)
• Salty air
• Corrosive gases
• Heavy dust
Avoiding jams
You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.
See the following for loading instructions:
• Loading the 500-sheet trays
• Loading the 2000-sheet tray
• Loading the multipurpose feeder
