How to store and handle the media
Be sure to carefully review and understand the Supply Manual. Use only media which meets the specified
requirements. Use of non-specified media may shorten the head life and result in problems concerning barcode
readability or print quality. All media should be handled with care to avoid any damage to the media or the printer.
Read the guidelines in this section carefully.
Do not store media for longer than the manufacturer's recommended shelf life.
Store the media on the flat end. Do not store them on the curved sides as this might flatten that side causing an
erratic media advance and poor print quality.
Store the media in plastic bags and always reseal after opening. Unprotected media can get dirty and the extra
abrasion from the dust and dirt particles will shorten the print head life.
Store the media in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas where they would be exposed to direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, dust or gas.
The thermal paper used for direct thermal printing must not have specifications which exceed Na
-
ppm and Cl
500 ppm.
Some ink used on pre-printed media may contain ingredients which shorten the print head's product life. Do not
use labels pre-printed with ink which contain hard substances such as carbonic calcium (CaCO
2SiO
, 2H
O).
