Media Storage and Handling
How do I take care of media?
Keep media on a flat, level surface in its original wrapper until it is time to
load it.
If media has been removed from its wrapper, place it in its original packaging
and store in a cool, dark place.
When storing media, avoid
Moisture, excess humidity
Keep media between 30% to 65% relative humidity. Toner does not
adhere well to paper where it has become wet.
On the other hand, media that has been stored for a long time without
staying in its packaging may dry up too much and also cause jamming.
Direct sunlight
Excess heat (up to 86° F/30° C)
Dust
Leaning media against other objects or placed in an upright position
Before purchasing a large quantity or special media, do a trial printing with
the same media and check print quality.
What should I watch out for when handling media?
