Storing Media

Store the media in a dust-proof place with no direct sunlight. Also, avoid storing the media in hot or highly
humid places.

Precautions when handling media

Note the following precautions on handling the media.
l Media elasticity
Do not use the media in the sheet form immediately after opening the package. Media may expand or shrink
depending on the temperature and humidity of the room. After opening the package, the media must be
exposed to the atmosphere in which it will be used, for at least 30 minutes.
l Warping of the media
When using tabular media, use the ones that are flat, bent back with respect to the upward facing printed
surface (raised in the center). Media bent in an upward direction may not adhere to the table. The media
prone to bending should be stored on a platform or on a palette one size smaller than the media to ensure
that it bends downward. Also, make sure that there are no bends in the media protruding out from the
suction area.
l Attaching the media
To maintain the suction effect, cover the suction holes on the table not covered by the media with any other
media that is thinner than the media in use.
l Other precautions
• Do not keep anything on the surface of the coated paper. Certain types of coated paper may undergo
discoloration.
• Curled media that cannot adhere firmly to the table and the media that gets misaligned when the Y-bar is
moved cannot be used. Before printing, secure the media to the table by using material such as a tape.
• Refrain from using the media that bends or gets deformed even when the LOGICAL SEEK setting is
"OFF".
• As the board surface is made of multiple boards, the board joints may get reflected in the printed image
depending on the media thickness or strength of the paper. Also, vacuum holes may affect the printed
images in the same way. Take a test print before the actual printing, to ensure a smooth printing process.
