CHAPTER 5 : PREPARATIONS BEFORE PRINTING
53 AP-75198– Rev. 1.2
5.1.2 Cautions on handling media
When you handle media, please pay attention to the following:
Use recommended media in an appropriate environment. Following are the appropriate temperature
and humidity ranges for printing.
Temperature Humidity
Recommended working environment 20-30°C 40% to 65%
Rate of change Within 2°C per hour Within 5% per hour
Do not use creased, damaged, torn, curled, or wrapped media.
Temperature changes will influence the size of media that is used. Before using sheet media, place the
sheet in the working environment to have it match to the temperature of the working area.
Printing before the media has been able to accommodate to the printing environment may cause media
jams due to slippage or creases. This also adversely affects the quality of printing.
Media has a printable side and a non-printable side. If you print on a not printable side, blurring or slight
touching may occur.
Do not touch the printable side of media. Moisture or oil from hands affects the printing quality.
Do not leave the printer for a long time with media loaded. The media may curl, resulting in
misalignment, media jams, or decreased printing quality. In particular, avoid this in winter, dry seasons,
or during final printing.
Do not throw away the box or wrapping bag for storing media.
5.1.3 Precaution on storing media
When storing media, pay attention to the following.
Do not store media in high temperature, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
Store sheet media in the original bag after unpacking.
Unused roll media must be removed from the scroller, rewound tightly, and stored in the original
wrapping bag and the box.
Do not wet media.
