・ 

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.   

・ 

Store the media in a plastic bag so as not to collect dust or dirt particles. 

・ 

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.

 When you purchase media and ribbons 

There are a wide variety of media or ribbons depending on what they are made of and how the 

front and back surfaces are treated. 

Please use only TOSHIBA TEC-approved or recommended media and ribbons in order to ensure 

the best print quality. 

TOSHIBA TEC shall not be liable for any print failures or defects arising from the use of 

non-approved media or ribbons. 

 

 Preprinted Media 

When preprinted media (for instance, media with a box already printed on it) is used for printing, 

the Print Head may be damaged by the ink used for preprinting.  Particularly, if pigment-based ink 

is used for preprinting, the life of the Print Head will be considerably reduced.  Please contact 

your nearest authorised TOSHIBA TEC representative for further information before using 

preprinted media.   

If you use media with preprints on the back and have the Reflective Media Sensor (designed to 

detect black marks) detect black marks, please consult your nearest authorised TOSHIBA TEC 

representative.  The Reflective Media Sensor is only applicable to the media with preprints 

printed with special ink.
