Storing Media
Improper paper storage can cause absorption of moisture, discoloration, and warping. Note that
printing on such paper can adversely affect print quality, feeding, etc. Leave packages of media
unopened until you are actually ready to use them.
Store media in locations like the ones described below:
• On a flat shelf in a location that is dark and where there is little moisture
• On a flat table
• An environment with a temperature of 73°F ±1.8°F (23°C ±1°C) and humidity of 50%RH
±2%
Avoid locations like the ones described below:
• Directly on the floor
• In direct sunlight
• Near the inside surface of an external wall
• On a surface that is uneven or curved
• In a location where electrostatic charge is generated
• In a location subjected to very high temperatures or sudden temperature changes
• Next to a photocopying machine, air conditioning equipment, heater, or duct
Note: Proper printing may not be possible on paper that has been stored for a long time.
Note: Leaving roll paper in an environment where it is exposed to high temperatures and high
humidity for long periods can cause it to become deformed. Do not use deformed roll paper.
Store roll paper in an environment where the temperature and humidity are appropriate.
Note: We recommend putting partially used label paper back into the vinyl bag it was
packaged in, to prevent the paper from absorbing moisture.
