8.5 inches (Cut Sheet paper)

Length 8.5 inches 19.7 ft

NOTE

It is possible to print longer than 19.7 ft ( 6 m) as an option. You can choose either “24m” or “unlimited” as a maximum print length. Call your service personnel if you would like to print over 6meters as the user can not change this setting in the printer.

If you print longer than 19.7 ft or 6 meters, the image quality or the reliability of media feeding is not guaranteed.

1. 8. 2 Media not to be used

Do not use the following kinds of printing paper. Doing so may damage the printer.

Excessively curled

Folded

Creased

Torn

Punched

Section 1 Basic Printer Functions 1-19

Pre-printed

Extremely slippery Extremely sticky Extremely thin and soft OHP Film

CAUTION

Do not use paper with staples. Do not use such conductive paper such as aluminium foil and carbon paper. The above may result in fire or damage to the machine.

NOTE

(1) Print image may become light if printed on the rough surface of the paper.

(2) Print image may be poor if the print paper has excess curl.

(3) Using paper that does not satisfy the specifications may cause paper mis-feeds, poor

print images, or creasing.

(4) Do not use paper with “unique” surfaces, such as thermal paper, art paper, aluminium

foil, carbon paper and conductive paper.

(5) Vellum that is exposed to air over a long period of time tends to cause poor printing. We

recommend you that you remove one round on the surface of the vellum by using the Initial Cut Key on the User Interface (UI).

(6) Remove all adhesive from the media roll that may remain from tape placed onto the

media by the media supplier.

1. 8. 3 Maintaining the Media

Store the media noting the following:

1. Do not expose the paper to the direct sunlight.

2. Keep the paper away from high humidity. (It must be stored at less than 70%)

3. Put the paper on a flat surface, do not damage the media.

4. If you will store paper that has already been unpacked, put it into a plastic bag to avoid moisture in the media.
