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%. Most label manufacturers
recommend printing in a temperature range of 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) with relative humidity between 40 and 60%.
•Store paper in cartons when possible, 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.

Avoiding jams
Paper tray recommendations
•Make sure the paper lies flat in the tray.
•Do not remove a tray while the printer is printing.
•Do not load a tray while the printer is printing. Load it prior to printing, or wait for a prompt to load it.
•Do not load too much paper. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the indicated maximum height.
•Make sure the guides in the tray or the multipurpose feeder are properly positioned and are not pressing too tightly against
the paper or envelopes.
•Push the tray in firmly after loading paper.
Paper recommendations
•Use only recommended paper or specialty media.
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, bent, or curled paper.
•Flex and straighten paper before loading it.
•Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
•Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same stack.
•Make sure all sizes and types are set correctly in the printer control panel menus.
•Store paper per manufacturer recommendations.
