All envelopes should be printed single-sided only. Use only paper envelopes. Do not use

Media Storage Guidelines
Providing a good environment, and safe handling and storage conditions for your paper and
other media contributes to optimum print quality.
■
Store paper in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible to
damage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun
and fluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of
exposure to visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.
■
■
■
Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
Avoid light, heat, and dampness.
Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing paper. Inside walls are drier than
outside walls where moisture can collect.
■
■
■
Store paper flat. Paper should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.
Avoid having food or drinks in the area where paper is stored or handled.
Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the system.
Leave paper in the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream
wrapper contains an inner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.
■
Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags. Leave the media inside
the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag and reseal it for
protection.
Media that May Damage Your System

some media can cause poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your system.
