5.3.2 Paper types

All media that comply with the requirements of the electrophotographic printing method can 

be used in all specified formats and paper weights (paper specification (see section 1.6 

Other documents, page 12)).

5.3.3 Climate and paper 

The climate (temperature and relative humidity) in the storeroom or processing room is of 

major importance in ensuring optimum paper processing. Unsuitable conditions can, for 

example, give the paper an excessive curl, make it bumpy, or alter its electrical resistance.

5.3.4 Paper handling

The paper should be transported and stored in a suitable manner. Observe the following 

guidelines to ensure that the original high quality of the paper is not impaired in any way.

• Store the paper in its packaging until it is used.

• Do not store paper on the floor or next to walls, or in the vicinity of water pipes, radiators, 

ventilators, windows (sunlight) etc.

• Do not store paper in rooms in which the ambient conditions are subject to constant 

change.

• Before you use the paper, store it (in its packaging) near the printing system for a few 

days if possible, or at least for 24 hours.

• Do not unpack more paper than you need. 

• Always store open packs and reams on the top of your supply stacks, and use open packs 

first. If you have to store open packs over a longer period of time, cover the paper with 

protective film.

• When the printer is not likely to be used for some time (over two hours) we recommend 

that you remove the paper from the system.

• Do not use damaged single sheets.

Caution

Sharp paper edges can cut you.

Do not slide hands or fingers along the edges.
