For best copy quality, and to prevent possible damage to your machine, use high quality ther- mal recording paper.
Handling and Storage of Thermal Copies and Paper
The copy paper for your machine is thermal type paper. This means that both your imaged and non- imaged paper is sensitive to heat. This type of paper is also sensitive to some chemicals. If you follow the guidelines for storage listed below, your thermal copies and paper should remain serviceable for many years. If you are concerned about storing a document on thermal paper indefinitely, we recommend that you make a copy of it on a standard office copier.
Store unopened packages of thermal paper at or below 76OF and 65% humidity. If the package has been opened, store it away from direct light. Heat and humidity darken the background of thermal paper.
Store thermal copies away from direct sunlight and at a temperature below 105OE Heat and humidity darken the background and fade the image.
Avoid storing thermal copies in contact with blueprint (diazo) copies and plastic film or binders. The chemicals in these materials may fade the image.
Avoid applying tape to the imaged area on copies. The chemicals in some transparent tape adhesives may fade the image.
Avoid storing two copies with the imaged sides together. The printed image may transfer from one copy to the other.
