A. Appendix Print surface The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little. Usually, the opening side of the ream of the paper package is the print side. Follow the indications on the paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow. Moisture content Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the characteristics of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding environment be between 50% and 60%.

Print surface

The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little.

Usually, the opening side of the ream of the paper package is the print side. Follow the indications on the

paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.

Moisture content

Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important

characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually

paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can

sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the

characteristics of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the

paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding environment be between 50% and

60%.
