Caring for your media

For best results, follow these instructions when handling media:
Store media in its original packaging in a cool, dry area until you are ready
to use it.
The environment should be stable (no extremes of heat or cold, or
non-condensing humidity.) If temperature conditions are outside the
recommended range for printer operation, allow the media to acclimate in the
operating environment for at least 48 hours before use.
If you remove a roll of media from the printer, store it in such a way as to
keep it clean and dust-free. Ideally, you should return it to its original
packaging for storage.
Print on the correct side. Cut sheet media has an ink-receptive side and a
non-ink-receptive side. The sheets are notched to help you orient them
correctly. To identify the correct side, make sure the notch is in the upper
right corner when you feed the sheet through the printer.
Handle the media carefully to avoid creases, scrapes, and tears. Avoid
crushing or damaging of roll media edges.
Attention:
are very sensitive to scratches and creases, and may absorb skin oils.
Fingerprints on the media before printing may result in visible fingerprints
after ink is applied.
