Storing Paper
The quality of paper may deteriorate if it is stored improperly even when the paper 
meets the normal specifications. Deteriorated paper may cause misfeeds, paper 
jams, or deterioration in print quality.
Observe the following guidelines for storing and handling paper:
IMPORTANT
•Store paper away from moisture since paper quality deteriorates in a moist environment.
•Paper wrappers help avoiding moisture and dryness. Keep paper in the wrapper until it is 
ready to be used.
•Store paper on a flat surface.
•Do not store paper on the floor where water and moisture can accumulate.
•Avoid physical damage to stored paper.
•Do not store a paper stack vertically or do not pile up too many paper stacks.
•Avoid direct sunlight and a humid or dry place when storing paper.
•If the paper storage room and work area differ from each other significantly in 
temperature or humidity, keep packed paper stack in the work area for at least one day 
prior to printing so that it can adapt to the new environment. When paper is moved to a 
location where the temperature or humidity differs significantly, the paper may curl or get 
creased.

Face-up Delivery Slot
Prints are delivered to the face-up delivery slot with the printing surface face up. 
The face-up delivery slot is suitable for printing on transparencies, envelopes or 
labels which tend to curl, as the face-up delivery slot feeds the printed material flat.

printing. When removing paper or paper jam, be careful not to touch the face-up delivery 
slot and its surroundings.
