45% to 55%. The following guidelines should be helpful when evaluating the paper-storage
environment:
■ Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
■ The air should not be too dry or too humid (due to the hygroscopic properties of paper).
■ The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof
wrapping. If the MFP environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be
used during the day's operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.
Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between
manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes
depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following
components:
■
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m
2
(28 lb) or jamming might
occur.
■ Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) curl,
and should not contain air.
■ Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
■ Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the MFP.
■ Size: Use only envelopes that are within the following size ranges:
■ Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches)
■ Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches)
NOTE Use only tray 1 or the optional envelope feeder to print on envelopes. Some jams
might occur when using any media with a length less than 178 mm (7 inches). This might be
caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum
performance, make sure to store and handle the paper correctly (see
Printing and paper-
storage environment). Select envelopes in the printer driver.
