Use at an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
If the machine is used at an ambient temperature lower than 20°C (68°F), then depending on the type or
width of the media, wrinkling or temperature-caused unevenness may occur. If this happens, try lowering the
temperature of the media heating system by about 2°C. To obtain stable print results, however, the machine
should be used at an ambient temperature of 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F).
