User’s Guide for Express™ and Select™ Printers
When you use a monochrome print ribbon, use a printhead designed for optimal
monochrome printing. See “Printhead cartridge” on page B-7 for more information.
If you change the type of ribbon you use, be sure to make the appropriate changes to
the Express or Select printer driver. See “Changing the type of print ribbon” on
page 5-11
Supply roll storage
Follow these guidelines when storing supply rolls:
•
The print ribbon maintains its quality for about a year. For optimal card quality,
purchase and store quantities that you can use up in less than a year.
•
The print ribbon and card stock might require secure storage and tracking. Follow
your policy for storing and tracking the supplies used to make cards.
•
Select a location away from direct sunlight, with a temperature between 55° F and
80° F or between 13° C and 27° C. A humidity range from 20% to 80% (non-
condensing) is recommended.
•
Supply rolls should be at room temperature when they are installed in the printer
and used. If supplies are stored in a cooler environment than the printer, allow
supplies to reach room temperature before using.
