Appendix-5
To maintain the right level of moisture content, bear in mind the following
considerations.
• Store paper in a cool, well-ventilated place.
• Store paper flat and unopened in the package. Once the package is
opened, reseal it if the paper is not to be used for a while.
• Store paper sealed in the original package and box. Put a pallet under
the carton to keep it raised above the floor. Especially during rainy
seasons keep the paper a sufficient distance away from wooden or
concrete floors.
• Before using paper that has been stored, keep it at the proper
moisture level for at least 48 hours.
• Do not store paper where it is exposed to heat, sunlight, or dampness.
Other Paper Specifications
Porosity:
The density of the paper fibers
Stiffness:
Paper must be stiff enough or it may buckle in the machine,
causing jams.
Curl:
Most paper naturally tends to curl after the package is opened. When
paper passes through the fixing unit, it curls upward slightly. To deliver flat
printouts, load the paper so that the curl faces towards the bottom of the
paper tray.
Static electricity:
During printing, paper is electrostatically charged so
that the toner adheres. Choose paper that can be discharged quickly so
that copies do not cling together.
Whiteness:
Paper whiteness affects print contrast. Use whiter paper for
sharper, brighter copies.
Quality:
Machine problems may occur if sheet sizes are not uniform or if
corners are not square, edges are rough, sheets are uncut, or edges or
corners are crushed. In order to prevent these problems, be especially
careful when you cut the paper yourself.
Packaging:
Choose paper that is properly packaged and stacked in
boxes. Ideally, the packaging itself should have been treated with a coating
to inhibit moisture.
Specially treated paper:
We do not recommend printing onto the
following types of paper, even if it conforms to the basic specifications.
When you use these kinds of paper, purchase a small amount first as a
sample to test.
• Glossy paper
• Watermarked paper
• Paper with an uneven surface
• Perforated paper
