    Paper Output Capacity   
         
    Printer and Paper Storage Environment  
      Paper storage conditions directly affect the feed operation.  
      Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic: it 
    absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.    
      Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating 
    systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid 
    weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and 
    dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.
      Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and 
    moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.  
       
    Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, 
    especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture - proof barrier.  
       
    The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20 C to 24 C (68 F to 75 F), with a 
    relative humidity of 4 percent to 55 percent. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the papers storage environment:  
       
    l Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.  
     
         
    l The air should not be too dry or too humid.  
     
         Symptom   Problem with Paper   Solution  
    Poor print quality or toner adhesion, problems 
    with feeding   Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed; 
    faulty paper lot   Try another kind of paper, between 100 - 400 
    Sheffield, 4%~5% moisture content.  
    Dropout, jamming, curl   Stored improperly   Store paper flat in its moisture - proof wrapping.  
    Increased gray background shading/printer 
    wear   Too heavy   Use lighter paper; use the rear output slot.  
    Excessive curl problems with feeding   Too moist, wrong grain direction, or short - grain 
    construction   • Use the rear output slot.
    • Use long - grain paper.
    Jamming, damage to printer   Cutouts or perforations   Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations.  
    Problems with feeding   Ragged edges   Use good quality paper.  
    NOTE:  Do not use letterhead paper printed with low - temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
    NOTE:  Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
    NOTE:  The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible 
    with this fusing temperature (200 C or 392 F for 0.1 second).

    							l The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture - proof wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, 
    unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the days operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

    							Troubleshooting   
       
       
    Clearing Jams in the Paper Tray    
    Occasionally, paper jams during a print job. Some causes could be:  
       
    l The tray is overfilled.  
     
         
    l The front cover or top cover has been opened during a print job.  
     
         
    l The adjustable paper guides are not properly positioned.  
     
         
    l Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See  Paper Specifications .
