4.2.3 Notes on handling media

Notes
•
Use compatible media under an appropriate environment.
The appropriate temperature and humidity ranges for printing are shown below.
Recommended range
•
Do not use folded or torn media.
•
The size of media can change according to temperature and humidity variations in the print
environment. Therefore, place the media minimum 30 minutes in the print environment before use, to
let it acclimatize to the print environment.
•
Printing on media without having it acclimatized to the printing environment might cause media jams
and bad print quality, caused by media expansion or contraction.
•
Media has a printable side and a non-printable side. Printing on the non-print side can cause blurs and
blots.
•
Always handle media with dry and clean hands to avoid bad print quality.
•
When the printer will be unused for more than 24 hours, remove the media to prevent media floating,
media jams, and degradation of the print quality.
•
Avoid using media in cold places and dry places, especially when printing formal documents.
•
Always store the media in its original packing material.
•
Do not throw away the individual box and bag. Use them for storing media.
