• Do not store the media and ribbon for longer than the manufacturer’s
recommended shelf life.
• Store media rolls on the flat end. Do not store them on the curved
sides as this might flatten that side causing erratic media advance and
poor print quality.
• Store the media in plastic bags and always reseal after opening.
Unprotected media can get dirty and the extra abrasion from the dust
and dirt particles will shorten the print head life.
• Store the media and ribbon in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas where
they would be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature, high
humidity, dust or gas.
• The thermal paper used for direct thermal printing must not have
specifications which exceed Na
+
800 ppm, K
+
250 ppm and Cl
-
500
ppm.
• Some ink used on pre-printed media may contain ingredients which
shorten the print head’s product life. Do not use labels pre-printed
with ink which contain hard substances such as carbonic calcium
(CaCO
3
) and kaolin (Al
2
O
3
, 2SiO
2
, 2H
2
O).
For further information, please contact your local distributor or your
media and ribbon manufacturers.
CAUTION!
Be sure to read carefully
and understand the Supply
Manual. Use only media
and ribbons which meet
specified requirements. Use
of non-specified media and
ribbons may shorten the
head life and result in
problems with bar code
readability or print quality.
All media and ribbons
should be handled with care
to avoid any damage to the
media, ribbons or printer.
Read the guideline in this
section carefully.
CAUTION!
Do not use any volatile
