7 Precautions when using thermal paper (printing paper)

Precaution

• The darkness (density) of printing varies according to the type of printing paper

used. The printing darkness (density) is adjusted either in the printer driver or

using a software command. For details of this command, please refer to the

Command Reference Manual available from your supplier.

• When using copy type printing paper, set two sheets of copy paper with either in

the printer driver or using a software command. For details of this command,

please refer to the Command Reference Manual available from your supplier.

• When using copy type printing paper, occasionally, the first or second sheet feeds

incorrectly, blurring the printing. When this happens, start the printing over from

the beginning.

• When using thermal printing paper, take the following precautions. Thermal

printing paper becomes discolored or degenerates, resulting in faint printing.

– Do not put printed paper in bright light for a long period.

– Avoid high temperature, humidity, fluids, and sunlight.

– Do not use glue, adhesive, or adhesive tape containing a volatile organic solvent

to retain printed thermal paper by applying it to ground paper.

– When you want to retain the paper for a long time, we recommend that you

either use deterioration-resistant type thermal paper or make a copy on a

copier and retain the copy.

– Do not keep the paper in contact with a PVC film etc. for a long time.

– Avoid ammonia. Keep it away from paper copied on a copier that uses ammonia.

– Do not let perspiration on your hands or oil touch the printed surface of

thermal printing paper (surface to be printed or surface that has been printed).

– When the thermal printing paper will be stored, store it in a dark place where

the average temperature is 25C° or less and the humidity is 65% or less.

• Roll paper curls as it is ejected from the printer, so be careful to prevent it from

entering the single sheet insertion opening.

• It may be impossible to assure the printing quality if the paper thickness is 80

or more.
