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 percent. Most label

manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60

percent.

•Store paper in cartons, 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.

•Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and wrapper help keep

the paper clean, dry, and flat.

Avoiding jams

Load paper properly

•Make sure paper lies flat in the tray.

Correct loading of paper Incorrect loading of paper

•Do not remove a tray while the printer is printing.

•Do not load a tray while the printer is printing. Load it before printing, or wait for a prompt to load it.

•Do not load too much paper. Make sure the stack height is below the maximum paper fill indicator.

•Do not slide the paper into the tray. Load paper as shown in the illustration.

•Make sure the guides in the tray or the multipurpose feeder are properly positioned and are not pressing tightly against the

paper or envelopes.

•Push the tray firmly into the printer after loading paper.

Use recommended paper

•Use only recommended paper or specialty media.

•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, bent, or curled paper.

•Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.

•Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same tray.

•Make sure the paper size and type are set correctly on the computer or printer control panel.

•Store paper per manufacturer recommendations.
