Reading a ream label
A ream label is typically placed or printed on the outside of the paper wrapping. The ream
label usually lists the weight, size, quantity of sheets, grain direction, and other
information. The preferred side for printing might be indicated by an arrow on the ream
label, although some manufacturers do not specify a print side. Paper should be loaded
into the printer so that the indicated side will be printed (or printed first for duplexing). The
preferred side might face-up or face-down in the input tray, depending on the printer model
and the input source. (See the support documentation for your printer model to determine
the orientation in the input tray.)
The following illustration shows an example of a ream label. For more information about
the items on the label, see the glossary in Appendix C on page 39.
Opening and loading paper
Follow this suggested process when you open paper and load it into the printer input tray:
1
Place the wrapped ream of paper on a flat surface, with the seam side up.
2
Read the ream label that is located on the outside of the paper wrapping and note the
direction of the arrow that indicates the preferred print side (if one is included). (See
“Reading a ream label” on page 5
.)
3
Open the paper wrapping and inspect for any damage to the sheets such as bent
corners, wrinkles, nicked edges, or glue contamination. Discard any damaged sheets.
4
Handle the open stack of paper as little as possible. However, before loading the
paper into the tray, flex the stack in both directions to "break" any locked edges. Do not
fan or separate the paper into several stacks because doing so creates air pockets
between the sheets that can cause jams or multiple-sheet feeds.
