Before printing, store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24–48 hours. The
environment in which the paper is stored must be the same as the printer. Extend the time by several days if the
storage or transportation environment is significantly different from printer environment. Thick paper may also
require a longer conditioning period.
Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of
the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
Fiber Content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides
the paper with a high degree of stability, resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper
containing fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
