•

  Do not store the media and ribbon 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 and ribbon 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

O). 

For further information, please contact your local distributor or your 
media and ribbon manufacturers.  

Be sure to carefully review

 

and understand the Supply 
Manual.  Use only media 
and ribbons which meet 
specified requirements.  
Use of non-specified media 
and ribbons may shorten 
the head life and result in 
problems with bar code 
readability or print quality.  
All media and ribbons 
should be handled with 
care to avoid any damage 
to the media, ribbons or 
printer.  Read the guideline 
in this section carefully. 

Do not use any volatile 
solvents including thinner 
and benzene, as this may 
cause discoloration or 
distortion of the cover.  

1.  Be sure to turn the 

power off before 
cleaning the Cutter 
Module. 

2.  The Cutter is sharp, so 

care should be taken 
not to injure yourself 
when cleaning.
