Gulf Coast paper problems

Sugar Land and Houston humidity routinely pushes paper past its ideal moisture content, and it shows up as jams.

  • Store reams sealed, flat, and away from exterior walls and floors.
  • Do not leave a partial ream open in a tray overnight in a warehouse office.
  • Move paper into the print room a day before use so it acclimates.
  • Watch for wavy edges — that paper will misfeed and curl through the fuser.
  • In production environments, consider a dehumidifier for the supply closet.

If jams spike every summer, humidity is the first suspect, not the copier.
