Paper Specifications (Thermal Paper)
1. Paper Width: 79.5 ±0.5 (mm)/82.5 ±0.5 (mm)
Note 1: Do not change paper types while the printer is in use.
Note 2: Paper specifications differ for printing on paper edges.
Note 3: It is necessary to adjust the position of the paper guides on the left and right to use paper with of 79.5 mm.
2. Paper Thickness: 80 µm to 105 µm
3. External Dimensions: Roll Diameter: Maximum value Ø 180 mm
Width (Roll-up Dimensions): 80 ± 0.5, -1 mm/83 ±0.5, -1 mm
Note 1: Be aware that roll paper will expand because it absorbs water if the printer is being used in a high
temperature-high humidity environment. The printer must be used under the specifications provided above.
If using this printer in a highly temperature, high humidity environment it is recommended that the paper
roll diameter be a maximum of Ø175 considering the margin.
4. Shaft Core Inner Diameter/Outer Diameter:
When paper thickness is 65 to 100 µm:
Shaft core inner diameter: Min. 25.4 ±1 mm; Shaft core outer diameter: Min. 40 ±1 mm
When paper thickness is 100 to 150 µm:
Shaft core inner diameter: Min. 50.8 ±1 mm; Shaft core outer diameter: Min. 58 ±1 mm
Note 1: The tolerance value of the roll paper shaft core (paper tube) varies according to the thickness of the paper
that you use.
The specifications above are recommended values. When using paper that is outside of the above
specification ranges, paper jams may occur.
Note 2: The amount of paper remaining when using the near-end detector can vary depending on the roll paper
shaft core (paper tube) diameter. Operate this apparatus after verifying the conditions of its use
beforehand.
5. Roll Paper Finish
The following should be carefully observed with regard to roll paper finish.
A. The coloring surface of the thermal paper should be the outer surface of the roll.
B. The core of the roll paper should not protrude from the edges.
C. The end of the roll paper should not be glued or taped to the core.
The trailing edge should not be folded.
D. The roll paper should not come loose.
E. There should be no deformation of the roll paper diameter and core.
6. Recommended Thermal Paper
Print density settings must be changed according to the type and thickness of the paper.
Density settings can be changed using the print density setting command <ESC> <RS> ‘d' n.
