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
µ
m
or more.
