6) Notes on preprinting on the recording surface of thermal paper

When using thermal paper, the recording surface of which has been preprinted, sticking (a problem of the thermal head sticking to the surface of the thermal paper during printing) may occur, causing faulty printing and other problems. It is, therefore, strongly recommended to avoid using preprinted thermal paper. If such paper must be used, conduct preprinting tests under the conditions recommended by the paper manufacturer (type of ink/print conditions) and confirm that no faulty printing or any other problems occur before you use it for actual printing.
