General Paper Specifications

Test the paper first if you plan to use it in environments with humidity of less
than 20% or greater than 80%. Also test paper that you plan to use at high
humidity to ensure satisfactory feeding and handling, and test paper to be
used at low humidity to determine if static buildup must be eliminated for
proper paper stacking.
