Storage and Use

The following are guidelines to ensure you get the best results from your office paper and in the process minimise paper jams and stoppages:

Handle reams carefully, damage to the edges of paper can cause jams
Do not stack paper more than 5 cartons high
– careful stacking will avoid damage to the edge of the paper
Paper should be stored within the environment it is going to be used for at least 24 hours prior to use
Do not store paper directly next to radiators, air conditioning vents, external doorways etc, where the moisture content of the paper maybe affected
Do not open reams of paper until ready for use
– the ream wrapper protects the paper from changes in humidity and temperature which may affect performance
Where stated, load paper according to the ‘print first side’ instructions
‘Knock’ ream on hard surface to ensure all edges are square
Ensure different papers are not mixed in the machine feeding tray
Remove excessive dust from top sheets before loading into machine
