The printer expects the loaded media to match the media type specified  
using the DEFAULTS:MEDIA option on the display panel. If, for example,  
the printer expects paper, and transparency material is loaded, a  
mismatch message will appear. If you choose to make the test print using  
incorrect media by pressing the Print button, the print will not have proper  
color reproduction for that media type.

Printing from Computer Applications  
You print through your applications using the printing software or the  
export module that came with the printer.  
Printing  
Guide  
For application-specific printing information, refer the User’s Guide for  
the application.  
Color Management  
Calibration  
For information about printing with the 8670 printer, refer to the Printing  
Guide.  
The time it takes to print an image depends on the application and on the  
type of image being printed. Some images take much longer to print than  
others. A file made up of lines generally takes less time to print than a file  
that is defined in bits, such as a scanned image.  
Network  
Interface Guide  
Overview  
As printing takes place, the paper moves through the imaging path  
multiple times. During this process, the paper partially exits the printer.  
Do not pull on the print. Wait until the print exits completely before  
touching it.

Scheduling Jobs  
The number of jobs that can be queued to the printer at once depends on  
the memory available in the printer. If large files are sent, fewer jobs can  
be processed. Installing additional memory in the printer increases the  
number of jobs that can be processed at the same time.  
Printing  
Guide  
Color Management  
Calibration  
If the printer is on a network, the network configuration affects job  
scheduling. When on a network, the printer polls the ports in a round  
robin manner. When it receives a job, it stops polling until the job is  
complete. The printer then looks to the next port in the list.  
Network  
Interface Guide  
The position of the ports in the list affects the order in which jobs are  
processed. When a job is sent is not the only determinant of when it will  
be processed and printed.

Handling and Storing Prints and Transparencies  
The image stability of thermal prints depends on factors such as  
temperature, relative humidity, and exposure to light or to biological or  
chemical contaminates. Using XtraLife ribbon increases print shelf life.  
Printing  
Guide  
Your thermal images will last a long time if you handle and store them as  
described below.  
Color Management  
Calibration  
Handle prints as little as possible. When handling prints, make sure  
your hands are clean and free of food, oil, and grease. Wear clean  
gloves when possible, and hold prints by the edges.  
Network  
Interface Guide  
Store thermal prints and transparencies in a cool, dry environment free  
of chemical contamination.

extended periods.  
A relative humidity between 30% and 50% is ideal.  
Avoid exposure to high-intensity light sources, particularly fluorescent  
light and sunlight, which are rich in ultraviolet radiation.  
Avoid exposure to vinyl items (those made of polyvinyl chloride [PVC])  
or any plastic which contains plasticizer. These items usually have a  
distinct “plastic” odor. If you use transparency sleeves, make sure that  
they are not PVC-based.

Adding Memory to the Printer  
You can purchase and install SIMMs to increase memory in the printer.  
Color Management  
Calibration  
NOTE: The 8670 printer comes with 48 MB of factory-installed memory.  
The benefits of having additional memory are:  
You may increase the speed at which images are processed.  
You can download more fonts with PostScript language jobs.  
Network  
Interface Guide  
Additional memory allows simultaneous processing and printing of more  
and/or larger jobs (increases the possible number of prints per hour).  
For example, operating with 64 MB of memory lets you print one 9.5 x  
14 job and process a second job of the same size. With less memory,  
only smaller jobs can be processed and printed.

There are 3 pairs of memory sockets in your printer. The first pair accepts  
4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 MB modules. The other pairs accept only 4, 16, or  
64 MB modules. Although it is not necessary to use both sockets in a pair,  
if you do, the SIMMs must be the same size.
