GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
● When storing an unsealed magazine (D or R), place it in a cool dark place.
It is recommended that the donor/receiver leading end be retained with a
rubber band to prevent it from being wound into the magazine. Do not tape
down the donor/receiver leading edge because residual tape adhesive may
adhere to the edge, contaminating the donor/receiver and causing a malfunc-
tion.
Rubber band
● When using donor magazine/receiver magazine stored under refrigeration, allow it to rise to
room temperature before taking it out of the inner bag to prevent moisture condensation.
● Use the donor/receiver before the expiration date.
● When the donor is replaced or is used for more than one month, the print color balance and
density may change. You should therefore, perform a calibration (see page 61).
The production number and
expiration date are indicated here.
● The refuse (used donor) retains negative images. Any refuse containing confidential data should
be shredded and properly disposed of as industrial waste (see page 38).
● When storing finished prints, keep them out of direct sunlight.
● The quality of the prints is affected by various environmental conditions (heat, humidity, light,
and air pollution).
Recommended storage conditions
● Store with good ventilation at 25°C, 30%RH to 60%RH
● Store at 10°C or less, 30%RH to 50%RH when storing for long periods
● When stacking prints, use care to prevent the image surfaces coming into contact with each
other because color dye transfer may occur.
