Media Storage and Handling

33

When storing media, avoid

Moisture, excess humidity
Keep media between 30% to 65% relative humidity. Toner does not
adhere well to moist or wet paper
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 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.
