Precautions for storing media

-Avoid direct sunlight and water regardless of before and after

opening the package. Put paper in envelope to prevent dust and

store media in a dry, cool and dark place.

-Avoid rapid change of temperature and humidity and store media

with no condensing.

- Do not store media in standing condition to prevent disorder of

media and damage of roll edge.

- Do not pile up paper rolls.

Precautions for disposing of paper

- Dispose of media in rule matched to the actual situation.

If there is a limitation for disposal regulations, follow the

regulations.

Precautions for use

-Avoid a change of temperature and humidity after opening

package.

Set media after leaving media in the operation environment for

3 hours or more. Use care for a change of humidity by turning

ON/OFF the air conditioner.

- In terms of media characteristics, curl of paper in low humidity

and wrinkle of media in high humidity may occur easily.

Use paper in normal temperature and humidity environment

(around 23 °C and 50%RH).

- Do not use scratched, wrinkled, curled, or stained with dust

media.

Especially, roll edge (both edges of roll) affects media feeding.

Also, do not drop or wet the media. If doing so, it may cause

bad effect to print quality and causes a malfunction.

- Hold margins of the media so as not to touch the print surface.

Adhesion of sebaceous matter or sweat may cause bad effect to

print quality.

- Amend mis-roll of the media before setting.

1-6

Page 27

Precautions for handling prints.

- Do not touch the print surface before drying up the ink.

Hold margins of the media for handling.

Especially use care before 24 hours after printing.

- Rubbing print surface causes color fading or color transfer.

Do not pile print surface to prevent color transfer.

- Do not pile together with copy prints or laser prints to prevent

sticking due to ink or toner.

- Do not rub, scratch, or hold the media to prevent pealing.

- Do not rub or leave the paper in wet condition to prevent blurring.

Other precautions

- Media causes color fading and a change in quality in getting

old.

Check paper condition and use well-conditioned paper.

- Paper dust due to cutting may cause float of coating.

- When using vinyl (with glue), adhesive matter (with glue) may

be sticked to the platen.

In this case, wipe up the adhesive matter referring to "Section 2,

Inspection & Maintenance".

Sticking of adhesive matter may cause paper jamming.
