When working with paper and transparencies, follow these guidelines:

 

•

 

Hold paper by the edges to avoid fingerprints, which reduce 
print quality.

 

•

 

Handle the package of paper with the cardboard stiffener sheets 
in place. 

 

•

 

Keep the bottom stiffener board in place when handling stacks of 
paper to avoid fingerprints on the printing surface.

 

•

 

Do not use wet or damaged stock.

 

•

 

Keep the lid on the paper tray and the paper tray inserted in the printer 
to protect media from exposure to light, dust or dirt.

 

For highest image quality, follow these storage instructions:

 

•

 

Store opened paper and transparencies at temperatures below 77

 

°

 

F 

(25

 

°

 

C). Avoid exposure to temperatures higher than 100

 

°

 

F (38

 

°

 

C). 

 

•

 

Avoid storing loose stacks of media out of its wrapper.

 

Paper is adversely affected by extremes in relative humidity. High 
relative humidity tends to cause paper to curl toward the image side of 
the paper. Low relative humidity tends to cause paper to curl away from 
the image side of the paper. Low relative humidity also tends to increase 
static attraction of dust and dirt.

To avoid humidity-related problems

 

, 

 

make sure the environment in which 

you use and store paper is between 40% and 60% relative humidity. 
Relative humidity lower than 20% or higher than 76% should be avoided 
even for short periods of time. Print paper can tolerate a relative 
humidity between 20% and 40%, and between 60% and 76%, for up to a 
few hours without causing the paper to curl.
