9.6 Dealing with Paper Problems
9.6.6 High humidity
Most modern printers print on cut sheets of paper. Paper handling problems are much more likely to occur here rather than in older printer versions that required tractor feed sheets of paper. These problems include jams and clumping of paper. One of the primary reasons for these types of problems is damp paper. Paper has a tendency to absorb dampness when it is stored. A cool dry place is the best place to store paper. High humidity areas should always be avoided for paper storage. The paper package should not be opened until it is ready to be used. It is good to fan through the edges of the paper before putting it into the printer.
