Storage of Media and Ribbons, Preprinted Media | Toshiba B-SX600

3. MEDIA AND RIBBON

3.6Storage of Media and Ribbons

・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.

3.7Unacceptable Media and Ribbons

・Wrinkled, folded, or ripped media

・Media on which dust particles settle on

・Media or ribbon whose edge is wavy

・Curled media

・Damp media or ribbon

・Media or ribbon already used for printing

・Media whose surface is treated (except for designated media)

・Media whose thickness does not meet the specifications

・Perforated or punched media (except for designated media)

・Label from which adhesive squeezes out

・Partially darkened media

・Media or ribbons of which shelf life is expired

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.
