• Expansion and contraction of the media
Do not use sheet types of media immediately after unpacking.
The media can expand and contract due to room temperature and humidity.
The media have to e left in the atmosphere in which they are to be used for 30 minutes or
more after unpacked.
• Heater temperature
Set the temperature of the pre-heater and the print heater according to the type and
characteristics of the media used.
Do not use the heater setting when rigid media is used.
• Absorption of media
In order to fix the media, block the absorption holes on the table, which can not be covered
with media, with other media thinner than those to be used.
• When rigid media (board) is used
Some heavy media may not be fed correctly. For the usable media, contact a distribu-
tor in your district or our office.
• Curling of media
Rigid media should be flat. If it is slightly curled, use the one curled downward (swelled at the
center) with the drawing surface facing up. Media curled upward may not be absorbed to the
platen. When storing media that is easily curled, place them on a base or pallet slightly
smaller than the media area so that the media will be curled downward during storage.
• Other notes
a Do not put anything on coated media. Some coated media may fox.
b Curled media not wholly absorbed or those that go out of alignment during table movement cannot
be used. They may be made available when they are fixed on the table with adhesive tape, etc.
