• Extension and shrinkage of the media
Do not use the media in the sheet form shortly
after the package was opened. The media could
extend or shrink depending on the temperature
and humidity inside the room. For more than 30
minutes after opening of the package, the media
has to be exposed to the ambient air of the
location it is to be used.
• Warping of the media
As for the media of the sheet form, use the flat
one, or the one warping downward (the one with
floating central part when placed the printing
surface facing upward.) Store the media liable to
be warped on the slightly smaller platform or
palette so that it may warp downward.
• Other precautions
c Do not place any article on the surface of the
coated paper. Some coated paper could
change its color.
d Curled media that cannot be absorbed or the
media that misaligns when the table is moved
may not be used. Before using, fix the media
with adhesive tape, etc.
e Do not use the media that will generate warp-
ing or deformation.
