You can use various kinds of media on the printer. When you use custom media, make sure you only use media that complies with the specifications listed in the table.
NOTE
The use of custom media is at your own risk. You can find a list of media types and sizes in Media types or Media sizes, or ask your local representative.
IMPORTANT
Do not store paper in rooms where temperature and humidity are high. In a recommended environment, with best print quality, temperature is not higher than 27 degrees Celsius or 80 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity is between 30 to 60 percent. Avoid dust and direct sunlight. Wrap unused paper in plastic to prevent it from absorbing moisture.
IMPORTANT
Clear, fully transparent media cannot be detected by the printer.
Very darkly colored media cannot be detected by the printer.
Shiny silver or gold coated media cannot be detected by the printer.
Use media that is loose or semi-fixed on the roll core. Do not use media that is fixed on the roll core.
The printed side of the media has to be directed outwards on the roll, otherwise it cannot be fed from the drawer.
When the media has a roll curl, direct the curl towards the roll center.
