Aibu to ask you to explain what this picture means

[dumbledoresAhhhmy]

It's on the side of a box of a4 paper at work.
Why? Why does it need to sit next to the printer? To make friends? To warm up?

Is it to do with acclimatisation?

It’s so they get accustomed to one another. Otherwise the printer will refuse completely to accept the paper into its inner circle.
You don’t want to be there when that shit goes down.

I firmly believe it’s so they can make friends

Not in the UK, and never seen this, but where I live there is a diagram of a little hand flapping the paper to aereate it before putting it in the machine.

Boringly, it's to warm up. The paper should be room temperature. If it's been stored somewhere cold (such as a warehouse or cellar,) it's more likely to wrinkle or jam in the printer.

@QueefLatifah yeah well that's probably why the copier is always jamming up - I've been ignoring the papers requests haven't I?

Absolutely. It doesn’t ask much of you?

Its so the paper is at room temperature

Wait... you insert the paper INTO the machine WITHOUT even an introduction?

No wonder it gets jammed.

The paper shouldn't just jump straight inside of the copier before they've even had chance to say hello.

They have to get acquainted.
Paper can't use Tinder, it's too flammable

Seriously?! I’m feeling pretty dim here, but does cold paper really make the printer jam?

Whilst it doesn't need storing next to the printer it does need storing in similar temperature and humidity. Physically storing next to printer ensures these condition are met without complicated instructions

I thing the second picture means “store paper under table when it’s raining inside”
I mean, the printer will be fucked but at least the paper is dry.

It's to warm it to room temperature. Our office is very cold (an old building) you can see steam coming from paper when we print on a cold morning.....
