Notes on storing media
Note
Use compatible media under an appropriate environment.
The appropriate temperature and humidity ranges for printing are:
Temperature: 22°C to 30°C with a change rate of 2°C per hour
Humidity: 40% to 60% with a change rate of 5% per hour.
Do not use folded or torn media.
The size of media shall change according to temperature and humidity
variations in the print environment. Therefor, place the media minimum 30
minutes in the print environment before use, to let it acclimatize to the print
environment.
Printing on media without having it acclimatized to the printing environment
might cause media jams and bad print quality, caused by media expansion or
contraction.
Media has a printable side and a non-printable side. Printing on the non-print
side can cause blurs and blots.
Always handle media with dry and clean hands to avoid bad print quality.
When the printer will be unused for more than 24 hours, remove the media to
prevent media floating, media jams and degradation of the print quality.
Avoid using media in cold places and dry places.
Always store the media in its original packing material.
Do not throw away the individual box and bag. Use them to store media.
Note
Avoid storing media in rooms with high temperature and high humidity.
Avoid direct sunlight on stored media.
Always repack sheet media in its original packing and store it in a horizontal
position.
when removing unused roll media, wind it properly, wrap it in an individual bag
and store it in an individual box.
Keep the media dry.
