H. USEFUL TIPS

Do not pull the paper in the direction opposite to the paper feeding direction with the print head closed.

Do not touch the areas around the print head and motor during or right after printing. It can be very hot.

Do not use thermal paper containing Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+) and Chlorine (Cl-) ions that can harm the print head thermal elements.

Use only water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste or CMC paste when gluing thermal paper.

Use of volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester and ketone on thermal paper can cause discoloration.

Some adhesive tapes on thermal paper may cause discoloration or faded printing.

Use only products made from polyethylene, polypropylene or polyester for storage of thermal paper. If thermal paper touches anything includes phthalic acid ester plasticizer for a long time, the image formation ability may be reduced or the printed image may fade.

If thermal paper touches diazzo copy paper immediately after copying, the printed surface may be discolored.

Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each other as the printing may be transferred between the surfaces.

If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a hard metal object such as a nail, the paper may become discolored.
