Do you leave paper in your printer tray? Won't dust collect on the paper and ruin your printer/prints?

Question

Or do you close the paper tray when not in use to avoid dust?

I am talking about the paper tray where paper is fed into the printer.

Answer 1

i just leave it in there. but i also print something almost every day, so there isn't much time for dust to gather.

Answer 2

If you don't print that often just leave the paper in the original package and just take it out when you are ready to use it. By leaving the paper in the tray it probably won't get much dust on it. Maybe just the first sheet.

Answer 3

We leave paper in it so that we can print when we need to without getting paper everytime and then needing more. It isn't a problem for the rollers, they are protected for the most part. And when the paper is pulled any dust that has settled lifts off, which isn't enough to do any damage unless you've left it there for three months without use.

Answer 4

The paper doesn't have a fighting chance of getting dusty. I print a lot of stuff. Almost daily. Once a week I have to add new paper. Yes. I just leave it there in the tray.

Answer 5

Paper packet that I purchase (with my income) from the office supply store is where I get the paper to fill the Inkjet/Laser Printers in my home.

Answer 6

I leave paper in the feeder, however, I have a set of computer, printer, keyboard covers. Cost about $12 in Office Max and worth it.

Answer 7

with or without paper in the tray - GET A DUST COVER

Answer 8

it depends on how often you use it cause if it sits there for months dust will collect and i would just close the paper tray

Answer 9

like the other person said u would print something before dust can form in the printer

Answer 10

I understand wat u mean and the best thing to do is before printing just take out the first paper so our print does not come out bad but the dust usually does not spoil th print
