7.4 Care/Handling of the Media and Ribbon
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

media, ribbons or printer. Read the guideline in this section carefully.

•
Store the media in plastic bags and always reseal after opening. Unprotected media can get dirty and the

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.
