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
Load paper properly
•Make sure paper lies flat in the tray.

•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.
