Paper StorageIn order to prevent paper jams, do the following:• To prevent moisture buildup, store remaining paper wrapped tightly in its original package. Store paper in a dry location,out of direct sunlight.• To prevent curling, store paper flat, not upright.• If the paper is curled, uncurl it before loading it in the cassette or multi-purpose feeder. Failure to do so will cause papercreases and a paper jam. Unacceptable PaperDo not print on the following types of paper stock.
