2.3 CARE AND HANDLING OF THE MEDIA AND RIBBON
• Do not store the media and ribbon for longer than the manufactures 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.
For further information please contact your local distributor or your media and ribbon manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Be sure to read carefully and understand the Supply Manual. Use only media and ribbon which
meet specified requirements. Use of non-specified media and ribbon may shorten the head life and
result in problems with bar code readability or print quality. All media and ribbon should be handled
with care to avoid any damage to the media, ribbon or printer. Read the following guideline
carefully.
