Conditioning
paper
Because temperature and humidity affect paper performance in
the printer, you need to condition paper before using it. To do
this, store paper for a specified length of time in the same type of
environment as your printer.
The length of time you should condition your paper depends on
the amount of paper and the difference between the storage and
operating temperatures.
NOTE: The numbers in the top two rows indicate the
temperature difference between the storage area and the
operating environment, not actual room temperatures.
Use the following chart to determine the length of time needed to
condition stacked cartons of paper.
Example: (See the shaded rows in the table above.) If you want
to move ten cartons of paper from a storage area with a
temperature of 90
o
F to an operating area with a temperature of
75
o
F (a 15
o
difference), you should do so at least 14 hours
before using the paper.
