Notes on the operating environment

• Paper and the printhead are more likely to touch each other, resulting in a scratched print surface or damaged print-
head.
• The cut printed matter sticks to the printer and will not fall down (film media).
• Paper sticks to the printer, making its transfer impossible and preventing its normal ejection (film media).
• Uneven printing (film media)
In high humidity environments (over 60%), your printer may develop the following problems.
• Printed matter will not dry.
• Wavy paper surface
• Cut edges are ragged (fabric media).
