• Do not expose the ribbon to di r ect sunlight, e x tre me hea t, dust, or liqu ids.
• Leave the top cover closed unless you need to access the inside of the
printer.
• Avoid touching the ribbon.
Storing Ribbons
For the highest image quality, store ribbons as follows:
• Store unopened ribbons at temperatures below 77°F (25°C). Avoid
exposure to temperatures higher than 100°F (38°C).
• Keep partially used ribbo ns in their origi nal wr appers to protect them fro m
dust and dirt when they are n ot loaded i n the printer . Dust and dirt specks
on the ribbon show up as much larger spots on prints.
