Media Storage Tips
Store media in a clean, dry, cool, dark area.
Direct thermal media is chemically treated to be heat sensitive to enable thermal printing. Direct sunlight or heat sources may ‘expose’ the media.
Do not store media with chemicals or cleaning products.
Leave media in its protective packaging until it is to be placed in the printer for use.
Many media types and label adhesives have a ‘shelf life’ or expiration date. Always use the oldest, viable (non-expired) media first.
