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.
