Helpful Guidelines for Paper Usage

HELPFUL GUIDELINES for PAPER USAGE

• Prior to use, paper should be allowed to acclimate at least 48 Hours in the environment in which it will be used.
  Optimum storage facility would retain temperatures between 70-80 degrees F with 50% relative humidity.
• Before loading paper, fan the sheets on all four sides.  This creates a small layer of air between the sheets which should help printer feeding mechanisms.
• Load Materials according to the instructions in the printer owner’s manual.  Recommended feeding is generally to use the manual feed tray, or the straightest path through the printer.
• Unused printing materials should be placed in a sealed moisture proof package and stored laying flat.  The original packaging can be reused as long as it can be resealed to prevent moisture infiltration. Excessive paper curl can result from large, sudden, or uneven changes in the moisture content of the paper. This can cause jams and misfeeds in the printer/copier, or poor stacking in the output tray.
