BEFORE OPERATION
HANDLING OF PAPER / INK RIBBON SET
BEFORE PRINTING
•
Fingerprints or dust on the paper's printing surface may degrade the print quality and
cause paper jams.
•
When the print paper or ink ribbon is abruptly transferred from a cool place to a hot
place, vapor or dew is generated on the surface, which causes paper jams or degraded
print quality. Leave the print paper in the room to stabilize its temperature before use.
•
If you repeat the installation of print paper procedure more than the designated number
of times, the indicated number of prints may not be made. In addition, if you replace the
print paper before it is used up, the indicated number of prints may not be made.
AFTER PRINTING
•
If the paper absorbs nonvolatile organic solvents (alcohol, ester, ketone, etc.) the print may
be discolored.
•
Discoloration of prints is accelerated if the print paper comes into contact with soft vinyl
chloride such as transparent tape.
•
Avoid storing prints in direct sunlight or places with high humidity.
