User’s Guide for Select™ Platinum Series™ Printers
If you change the type of ribbon you use, be sure to make the appropriate
changes to the printer driver. See “Changing the type of print ribbon” in the
e-Guide for Select™ Platinum™ Series Printers .
When you use a monochrome-only print ribbon, use a printhead cartridge
designed for monochrome printing for optimum results. When you use a color
ribbon that includes a K (monochrome or black) panel, use a color printhead
cartridge. See “Printhead cartridge” on page B-11.
Supply roll storage
Follow these guidelines when storing supply rolls:
•
The print ribbon maintains its quality for about a year. For optimal card quality,
purchase and store quantities that you can use up in less than a year.
•
The print ribbon and card stock might require secure storage and tracking. Follow
your policy for storing and tracking the supplies used to make cards.
•
Select a location away from direct sunlight and heat sources, with a temperature
between 32° F and 77° F or between 0° C and 25° C. A humidity range from 40%
to 60% (non-condensing) is recommended.
•
Supply rolls should be at room temperature when they are installed in the printer
and used. If supplies are stored in a cooler environment than the printer, allow
supplies to reach room temperature before using.
•
If the printer will not be used for an extended period of time, remove supplies from
the printer and store them with your supplies inventory.
