Environmental Considerations
The printer is designed to operate in a wide range of environmental
conditions. For best performance, store and use fanfold paper at 19
to
23
C (68
to 73
F) and a relative humidity of 33 to 47 percent.
Follow these guidelines when media is used in an environment outside the
temperature and humidity ranges:
$
Do not expose the paper to humidity or temperature extrems. If paper is
left unwrapped or on the paper input shelf of the stacker, extreme
changes in the environment will cause the paper to take on unwanted
properties.
$
In the case of humidity extremes, keep paper tightly wrapped in plastic.
$
If a significant temperature difference occurs between the paper storage
area and the printer´s operating environment, before unwrapping the
paper, allow it time to adjust to the temperature in the printer´s operating
environment. The greater the temperature difference and the greater the
amount of paper to acclimate, the longer this time period should be.
Allow one day for every 10
C (18
F) difference in temperature between
storage environment and printing environment.

Guidelines and Specifications for Selected Fanfold Paper
Properties of fanfold paper are subject to change. It is the user´s responsibility
to monitor the quality of the paper.
The printer is designed to print onto standard electrophotographie (laser type)
paper. Because there are many types of media and variations can occur in the
process of manufacturing media, it is important to select the best media for the
printing application.
