TM200 Service Manual

Paper Precautions

CAUTION:

„Be sure to use only paper that conforms with the specifications in the preceding section of this manual. Thermal paper that includes Na, K, or C1 ions can affect proper operation of the thermal head’s heating element.

„Thermal paper starts to color at around 70°C. Take care to protect unused and printed thermal paper against the effects of heat, light, and humidity, which can cause the paper to color and characters on the paper to fade.

„Take the paper roll out of the printer when you will not use the printer for a long time in a high temperature and humidity environment.

„Do not use this unit to print on label paper.

Loading paper roll

Note:

Be sure to use paper rolls that meet the specifications. Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued to the core because the printer cannot detect the paper end correctly.

1.Make sure that the printer is not receiving data; otherwise, data may be lost.

2.Open the paper roll cover by pressing the cover-open button.

3. Remove the used paper roll core if there is one.
