Handling Media

Note the following when handling or storing media.
Media that are in poor condition will not produce good
quality prints.
Be sure to read the documentation provided with each
type of media.

Notes on Handling

❏ Do not fold the media or damage the printable
surface.
❏ Do not touch the printable surface. Moisture and
oils from your hands can affect print quality.
❏ When handling media, hold it by both edges. We
recommend wearing cotton gloves.
❏ Keep the media dry.
❏ Packaging materials can be used to store media and
should not be thrown away.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
❏ When not in use, media should be removed from
the printer, rewound, and inserted in its original
packaging for storage. Leaving media in the printer
for extended periods may cause it to deteriorate.

❏ Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏ Do not touch the printed surface, as this may
remove the ink.
❏ Make sure printouts are completely dry before
folding or stacking, otherwise discoloration or
other marks may appear where the prints touch.
These marks will disappear if the prints are
immediately separated and dried but will become
permanent if the surfaces are not separated.
❏ Avoid direct sunlight.
❏ To prevent discoloration, display and store prints as
instructed in the documentation supplied with the
media.
Notes on Usage of Spot
color Inks (SC-S70600
series, SC-S50600 series)
Spot color inks may be sedimented (components
settling to the bottom of the liquid) due to ink
characteristics. Sedimentation triggers tint unevenness
in printing results or clogged nozzles.
Before using spot color inks, take note of the following
cautions.
❏ The printer provides a function (auto ink
circulation) that automatically circulates inks in the
print head or tube at periodic intervals to prevent
inks from being sedimented.
❏ When using this function, we recommend
that you do not turn the printer off. If the
power is turned off, auto ink circulation is
not performed at the appropriate times. This
causes irresolvable sedimentation, which
results in damage. When not using the
printer for a long period of time, see:
"Long-term Storage (Pre-storage
U
Maintenance)" on page 132
