Print Media Guidelines
Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides
high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your
printer helps you to avoid printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to
help you make print media selections, how to care for the print media, and how to load it in
the tray 1, optional tray 2, or MPF.
Paper
2
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m (20 lb) xerographic, long grain paper. Try a sample of any
paper you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load the
purpose feeder)" for detailed loading instructions.
Paper Characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you
follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.
Weight
2
The printer can automatically feed paper weights from 60 to 105 g/m (16 to 24 lb bond) grain
2
long in the DADF and from 60 to 105g/m (16 to 24 lb bond) grain long in the paper tray.
2
Paper lighter than 60 g/m (16 lb bond) may not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams.
2
For best performance, use 75 g/m (20 lb bond) long grain paper.
2
For duplex printing, use 75 to 90 g/m (20 to 24 lb bond) paper.
Curl
Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper
feeding problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is
exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the
paper tray, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems.
Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of the paper directly affects the print quality. If the paper is too
rough, the toner does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper
is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness should be between 100 and
300 Sheffield points; however, smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the
best print quality.
74
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Moisture Content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to
feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it.
This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain,
running the length of the paper, or short grain, running the width of the paper.
2
For 60 to 90 g/m (16 to 24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers
2
2
heavier than 90 g/m (24 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the MPF, 60 to 90 g/m (16 to
24 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended.
Fiber Content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This
content provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding
problems and better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton possess characteristics
that can result in degraded paper handling.
Recommended Paper
2
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m (20 lb) xerographic paper.
Business papers designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality.
Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When
choosing any print media, consider the weight, fiber content, and color.
Use only paper which can withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or
releasing hazardous emissions. Check with the paper manufacturer or vendor to determine
whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.
75

Unacceptable Paper
The following papers are not recommended for use with the printer:
•
Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as
carbonless papers, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
•
•
•
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater
than 0.09 in., such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
±
•
•
•
Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers
Recycled papers containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that do not meet DIN 19
309
2
•
•
Recycled paper having a weight less than 60 g/m (16 lb)
Multiple-part forms or documents
Selecting Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
•
•
Always use new, undamaged paper.
Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This
information is usually indicated on the paper package.
•
•
•
•
Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.
Do not use coated papers.
Remember to change the paper size setting when you use a source that does not support
auto size sensing.
•
•
•
Do not remove trays while a job is printing.
Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the source.
Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level
surface.

Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead paper
Use the following guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the
printer:
•
•
Use long grain papers for best results.
Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing
process.
•
•
Choose papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heat-resistant inks which have been designed for use in xerographic
copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting or releasing
hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in
the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks
might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.
Preprinted papers such as letterheads must be able to withstand temperatures up to 180° C
(356° F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

Selecting Prepunched Paper
Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in
manufacturing techniques.
Use the following guidelines to select and use prepunched paper:
•
Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of
pre-punched paper.
•
Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already
packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the
printer.
•
Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may
require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard
paper.
Transparencies
Try a sample of any transparencies you are considering using with the printer before buying
large quantities:
•
Use transparencies designed specifically for laser printers. Transparencies must be able to
withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without melting, discoloring, offsetting or
releasing hazardous emissions.
•
•
•
Avoid getting fingerprints on the transparencies, as this can cause poor print quality.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent the sheets from sticking together.
Load one transparency at a time into the MPF.
Selecting Transparencies
The printer can print directly on transparencies which have been designed for use in laser
printers. Print quality and durability depends on the transparency used. Always print samples
on the transparencies you are considering before buying large quantities.
Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether your transparencies are
compatible with laser printers that heat transparencies to 180° C (356° F). Use only
transparencies that are able to withstand these temperatures without melting, discoloring,
offsetting, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Envelopes
Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large
envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
79
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
•
•
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are
designed for use in laser printers.
2
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m (20 lb bond) paper. You can use
2
up to 90 g/m (24 lb bond) weight for the MPF as long as the cotton content is 25
percent or less.
•
•
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Have excessive curl or twist
Are stuck together or damaged in any way
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing
Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
Have an interlocking design
Have postage stamps attached
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
Have nicked edges or bent corners
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
•
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing,
excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts
about the envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.
•
•
Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the MPF first.
See "Using the MPF (Multi purpose feeder)" for instructions on loading an envelope.
80
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
NOTE: You can improve the printing quality of envelopes by pulling down the rear door to
open and pushing the two blue pressure levers down. This instruction will be especially
helpful for DL and C5 size envelopes.
•
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal
the envelopes.
Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are
supplied in letter size, A4 size, and legal size sheets. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable
stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) and pressure
of 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You can load one label sheet at a time in the MPF.
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large
quantity:
•
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting
in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive,
and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
•
•
•
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 180° C (356° F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or
between die-cuts of the label.
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone
coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away from edges. Adhesive material
contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
•
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip should be
removed on the leading and driver edge, and a non-oozing adhesive should be used.

•
Remove a 0.125 in. (3 mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling
inside the printer.
•
•
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.
Card Stock
Card stock is single ply, and has a large array of properties, such as the moisture content,
Sources and Specifications" for information on the preferred weight for the grain direction of
print media.
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a
large quantity:
•
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print
quality and cause print media handling or jamming problems.
•
•
Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate
the printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile components into the printer.
•
We recommend the use of grain long card stock.
Storing Print Media
Use the following guidelines for proper print media storage. These help avoid print media
feeding problems and uneven print quality:
•
For best results, store print media in an environment where the temperature is
approximately 21° C (70° F) and the relative humidity is 40%.
•
•
Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they
rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
•
Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

Selecting an Output Location
The printer has two output locations; the output tray (face down) and the rear door (face up).
Rear Door
Output Tray
To use the output tray, ensure that the rear door is closed. To use the rear door, open it.
NOTE: If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to
the rear door.
NOTE: To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear door while the printer is printing.

Printing to the Output Tray (Face down)
The output tray collects printed paper face-down, in the correct order. The tray should be used
for most print jobs.
If necessary, expand the paper output extension to keep the print media from falling off the
output tray.
Printing to the Rear Door (Face up)
Using the rear door, the paper comes out of the printer face up.
Printing from the MPF to the rear door provides a straight paper path. Using the rear door
might improve the output quality with special materials.
To use the rear door:
Open the rear door by pulling it.
CAUTION: The fuser area inside of the rear door of your printer becomes very hot when in use.
Take care when you access this area.

Tray Behavior
Tray Linking
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and
type of print media in multiple sources. The printer automatically links the trays; when one
tray is not available for paper empty or mismatch, the printer will use the next available linked
tray to feed print media for the printing.
For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2, the printer
selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then the printer automatically
feeds print media from the next linked tray.
By linking all trays (standard and optional), you effectively create a single source with a
capacity of up to 550 sheets.
Make sure you load the same size and type of print media in each tray in order to link the trays.
Set the paper size and type for each tray.
To disable tray linking you can either choose unique paper size/type for each tray or using
operator panel to disable tray linking.
NOTE: You can use this feature in print, copy, and fax job.
NOTE: To prevent a paper jam, do not open tray 1 while the machine is printing from tray 2.

Substitute Size
This setting is used to determine whether the printer can substitute with another paper size
when the requested paper size is not available in any of the input trays. The Printer will
substitute A4/Letter, A5/Statement, B5/ISO B5, and Folio/Oficio. For example if A4 is requested
paper size and there is no A4 paper in any of the input source then the printer will print on
Letter size paper, if available.
Substitute size set to Off means no substitution is allowed for the requested paper size. This
option is not applied for received fax printing.

the status of your document.
•
Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download
any TrueType fonts that are used in your documents, which is not stored
(resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the
fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit
your print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when
printing Adobe.

•
Download as Bit Image: When this option is selected, the driver downloads
the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as
Korean or Chinese, print faster in this setting.
Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver downloads any
fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and
relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be
enhanced in this setting.
Use Printer Fonts
When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored
in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than
downloading the fonts that have been used in your document. Because
downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your
printing time. When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the
fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you
use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the
printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like
on the screen.
If you click Reset, settings in the options returns to the default setting.

Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file
format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create
an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print
a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in
the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.
NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as documents you will print with the overlay.
Do not create an overlay with a watermark.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay.

Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single
telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone
uses to call you on is identified by different ringing patterns, available in combinations of long
and short ringing sounds.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring
pattern you designate to be answered by the FAX machine. This ringing pattern may be
recognized and answered as a FAX call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the extension telephone socket (
on the back of your printer. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection at any time.
)
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be
installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you may need another telephone line at your location, dial your FAX number from
another line.

forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the extension telephone
socket ( ) on the back of the printer.
Receiving Faxes in the Memory
Since your printer is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while performing other tasks. If
you receive a fax while you are copying, printing, or run out of paper or toner, your printer
stores incoming faxes in the memory. As soon as you finish copying, printing, or resupply the
consumables, the printer automatically prints the fax.

CAUTION: If you have selected duplex printing and then try to print multiple copies of a
document, the printer may not print the document in the way you want. In case of “Collated copy”,
if your document has odd pages, the last page of the first copy and the first page of the next copy
will be printed on the front and back of one sheet. In case of “Uncollated copy”, the same page
will be printed on the front and back of one sheet. Therefore, if you need multiple copies of a

Getting Started
The supplied Software and Documentation CD provides you with Dell's MFP driver package for
using your printer with a Linux computer.
Dell's MFP driver package contains printer and scanner drivers, providing the ability to print
documents and scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring
your printer and further processing of the scanned documents.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package enables you to monitor a
number of MFP devices via USB port. The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on
the same local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or transferred
to an external OCR system.
The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You do not
need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all
required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible
on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.

Using the Unified Driver Configurator
Unified Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring MFP devices. Since
an MFP device combines the printer and scanner, the Unified Driver Configurator provides
options logically grouped for printer and scanner functions. There is also a special MFP port
option responsible for the regulation of access to an MFP printer and scanner via a single I/O
channel.
After installing the MFP driver, the Unified Driver Configurator icon will automatically be
created on your desktop.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your printer may be connected to a host computer via the parallel port or USB port. Since the
MFP device contains more than one device (printer and scanner), it is necessary to organize
proper access of “consumer” applications to these devices via the single I/O port.
The Dell MFP driver package provides an appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used by
Dell printer and scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called MFP ports. The
current status of any MFP port can be viewed via the MFP Ports Configuration. The port
sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while another
block is in use.
When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is strongly recommended you do this
with the assistance of an Unified Driver Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose
I/O port for the new device. This choice will provide the most suitable configuration for MFP’s
functionality. For MFP scanners I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so
proper settings are applied by default.

Condition
Suggested solutions
The scanner does not work.
• Ensure that you place the document to be scanned face down from the document
glass, or face up in the DADF.
• There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan.
Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate.
• Check that the USB cable is connected properly.
• Ensure that the USB cable is not defective. Switch the cable with a known good cable.
If necessary, replace the cable.
• Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check the application you want to use
to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port.
The unit scans very slowly.
• Check if the printer is printing received data. Scan the document after the current job
is completed.
• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.
• Communication speed becomes slow in scan mode because of the large amount of
memory required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image.

Common Linux Problems
Condition
Suggested solutions
The printer doesn’t print.
• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP configurator and switch
to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers.
Ensure that your printer is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer
wizard to set up your device.
• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your printer on the
printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains
“(stopped)” string, please, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the
printer should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems
in printing occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when MFP
port is claimed by a scanning application.
• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and
scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of
different “consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible
conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other
“consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. You should open MFP ports
configuration and select the port assigned to your printer. In the Selected port pane you
can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait
for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that
the present owner is not functioning properly.
• Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in
the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select
“print”
“Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.

Precautions When Installing Printer Accessories
Never remove the control board while the printer is plugged in.
To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when
installing or removing ANY internal or external printer option.
The control board and internal printer memory are sensitive to static electricity. Before
installing or removing an internal printer memory, discharge static electricity from your body
by touching something metal on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk
around before finishing installation, discharge any static electricity once again.
Installing Printer Memory
Additional printer memory is provided on a Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM).
Your printer has 256 MB of memory. Additional 256 MB can be installed. Do not remove
preinstalled memory. Just add one more DIMM in the DIMM socket.
NOTE: Your printer supports only Dell DIMMs. Order Dell DIMMs online at www.dell.com.

Paper Specifications
Overview
Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-sheet paper (including up to
100 percent recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size
paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and moisture content, are important
factors affecting the printer’s performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet
the guidelines outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the following problems:
•
•
•
Poor print quality
Increased paper jams
Premature wear on the printer
NOTE: Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide and still not produce satisfactory
results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels,
or other variables over which Dell has no control.
NOTE: Before purchasing large quantities of paper, ensure the paper meets the requirements
specified in this User’s Guide.
CAUTION: Using paper that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring
repairs. These repairs are not covered by the Dell warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for Using Paper
2
For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m (20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good
quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or
bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check
the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the
printer:

Too heavy
Use lighter paper, use the rear
door.
Excessive curl problems with
feeding
Too moist, wrong grain

construction
• Use the rear door.
• Use long-grain paper.
Jamming, damage to printer
Problems with feeding
Cutouts or perforations
Do not use paper with cutouts
or perforations.
Ragged edges
Use good quality paper.
NOTE: Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography.
NOTE: Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
NOTE: The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Ensure that any colored paper
or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (180° C or 356° F for
0.1 second).

Printer and Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and
not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture
rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate,
while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove
most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing
streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a
room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and
dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper
jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3
months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can
cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened
packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum
performance. The required condition is 20° C to 24° C (68° F to 75° F), with a relative
humidity of 4 percent to 55percent. The following guidelines should be considered when
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
•
•
•
Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
The air should not be too dry or too humid.
The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof
wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of
paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.
