Unpack light-weight media

Introduction

Before you load media in the paper trays, unpack the media and check the stack.

Before you begin

Only unpack media just before you load the stack into the paper trays. When you leave the media unpacked for a long period, tight edges or waviness can occur.

Procedure

Action

1

Place a ream of media on a flat surface.

2

Fold out the short sides of the packaging.

3

Open the package along the glue strip.

IMPORTANT

When you use a knife to open the package be careful not to touch the media.

4

Remove the top sheet and the bottom sheet of the stack. Inspect the four sides of the stack for glue residue. If one of the sides contains glue residue do not use the ream.

Remove sheets that have any of the following types of malformation: bends, folds, cuts, rips, crumpled edges, wavy edges, tight edges, dog ears.

5

Loosen the stack carefully a few times at the four sides and the four corners. Make sure that all sheets are loose.
