Storing media Proper storage of media helps ensure trouble-free printing. For best results: • Store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%. • Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor. • If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl. • Do not place anything on top of paper packages. Avoiding paper jams If you follow the "Media guidelines" on page 98, you're well on your way to trouble-free printing. If you do experience a paper jam, see page 168 for instructions on clearing the jam. Here are a few reminders to avoid paper jams: • Ensure paper guides in trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded. • Load only standard-size paper in the trays. • To load paper in a tray while a job is printing, press the operator panel Stop button and wait for the printer motors to idle. Remove tray from printer. Load paper and reinstall tray. Press Go to continue printing. • Use only recommended media. See page 98 for more information. • Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper. • Flex and straighten paper before loading. • Do not overload paper trays. Make sure paper stack does not exceed maximum height indicator located inside the paper tray. Do not exceed the maximum recommended media amounts for media placed in the multipurpose feeder. • The multipurpose feeder does not have size sensing. Select the correct source and paper size from the operator 104 Chapter 6: Storing media
