•
When adding custom paper, designate a computer for managing paper in advance and always add custom paper from that
computer. To use that custom paper on other computers, first export the Custom Media Information File (.am1 file) for that
custom paper from the computer for managing paper, and then import it into another computer for use.
•
To use a Custom Media Information File (.am1 file) created outside of the network where the target printer is being used, first
import it into the computer for managing paper. If you also want to use it on other computers, import and use a Custom
Media Information File (.am1 file) newly exported from the computer for managing paper.
•
When importing a Custom Media Information File (.am1 file) that was created on the computer for managing paper, first de-
lete custom paper that does not exist on the computer for managing paper.
•
When deleting custom paper, make the same changes on all of the other PCs that use the target printer.
•
When using custom paper in another printer, always add the custom paper to that printer before use.

Notes on the operating environment
In low humidity environments (below 40%), your printer may develop the following problems.
•
Paper becomes curled or wrinkled.
•
Paper and the printhead are more likely to touch each other, resulting in a scratched print surface or damaged
printhead.
•
The cut printed matter sticks to the printer and will not fall down (film media).
•
Paper sticks to the printer, making its transfer impossible and preventing its normal ejection (film media).
•
Uneven printing (film media)
In high humidity environments (over 60%), your printer may develop the following problems.
•
Printed matter will not dry.
•
Wavy paper surface
•
