Media storage
When storing media:
1. Select a cool, well ventilated area.
2. Don't place media rolls directly on the floor. In humid conditions,
be sure to leave space for air circulation between the floor and
the media.
3. Avoid storing media where it might be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperature, or high humidity.
4. Use media within 2 years of date of manufacture.
5. Unless otherwise instructed, store all media flat (horizontally).
6. If the media is not to be used immediately after opening the
package, securely reseal the media package.
7. If the media in the printer has not been used for a long time, the
media on the outside of the roll will degrade first. It is a good
practice to feed some media and cut off the degraded or wrinkled
area.
8. If the media storage and printer environments differ greatly, let
the media stand in the printing environment for at least two hours
before using.
