4.2 Media
This section explains details of available media for this printer.
4.2.1 Media type
The type and quality of media greatly influence the print result.
Use media that matches the application, taking the following information into account.
4.2.2 Cautions on handling media
Note the following points when handling the media.
NOTE
• Use the media under an appropriate environment.
The appropriate temperature and humidity for printing are as follows.
• Do not use media which is folded, cut, or torn.
• The size of media can change according to changes in humidity in the printing environment.
Before using media, leave media for 30 minutes in the printing environment to adapt it to the
environment.
Performing printing without adapting media to the printing environment may cause media jams due
to gaps or wrinkles in the media.
Print quality is also affected.
• When using the printer in a low-humidity environment, the cut media may stuck and may not come
down. In such a case, open the front cover after the media is cut to remove the media.
• Do not touch the print side.
Moisture and oil on your hands may affect the print quality.
• Do not leave media set in the printer for a long time.
Some media has a tendency to bend, causing media jams and degradation of print quality.
Avoid using such media especially in winter, in dry conditions, and when printing formal
documents.
• Do not discard the individual box and bag. Use them for storing media.
