3.2 Care/Handling of the

Media



1. Wipe the Strip Roller with a soft cloth moistened with absolute
ethyl

alcohol.

2. Remove dust or paper particles from the Strip Sensor with a dry soft

cloth.

• Do not store media 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 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 manufacturer.
