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.
