Paper facts Paper maintenance The physical condition of your MICR paper is extremely important. In addition to being free from holes, wrinkles, tears, damaged edges, and foreign material, MICR paper must be carefully maintained, both before and after printing. Wrapping factors Paper with a moisture content below 5.5 per cent is best for a Xerox MICR laser printer. The moisture content must be uniform within the ream, which should not be allowed to lose or gain moisture during storage. To best preserve paper and preprinted forms, use moisture-proof ream wrappers, which maintain critical moisture balance. Xerox paper is covered with a polyethylene laminate ream wrapper. This material is the most effective in resisting the transfer of moisture from the environment. Unlike wax laminate wrappers, polyethylene does not bleed through the paper covers when exposed to heat. Wax bleed-through can cause feeding problems. Discard the top and bottom sheets if you suspect wax contamination. Storage factors Xerox paper are packaged in protective heavyweight cartons, which you can reuse for storage. These cartons are transported on a wooden pallet that provides uniform support and protection to the bottom layer of cartons. The cartons are protected with a moisture barrier of plastic shrink-wrapping. Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide 3-9
