Caring for your media
For best results follow these instructions when handling media:
■
Store media in its original packaging in a cool, dry area until you are ready
to use it.
■
The environment should be stable (no extremes of heat or cold, or
non-condensing humidity). If temperature conditions are outside the
recommended range for printer operation, allow the media to acclimatise in
the operating environment for at least 48 hours before use.
■
If you remove a roll of media from the printer, store it in such a way as to
keep it clean and free of dust. Ideally, you should return it to its original
packaging for storage.
■
Print on the correct side. The printable side of all OCE media always is on
the outside of the roll.
■
If there is any doubt what is the correct side, the coated side can be identified
by wetting the surface a bit and feel if the surface is somewhat sticky.(coated
side is the printable side).
■
Handle the media with care to avoid creases, scrapes, and tears. Avoid
crushing or damaging of roll media edges.
Attention:
Wear gloves (for instance cotton gloves).Film-based and
photographic paper-based media are very sensitive to scratches and
creases, and may absorb skin oils. Fingerprints on the media before
printing may result in visible fingerprints after the ink is applied.
