•
Paper must not be pasted to the roll paper spool.
•
The remaining amount of the roll paper when a roll paper near-end is detected differs
depending on the spool type.
•
Use of thermal paper with a pre-printed recording surface should be avoided. Using it can
cause the thermal head to stick to the thermal paper surface during printing, and cause
printing failure and other problems. The pre-printing also can result in reduced print density.
Using thermal paper with a pre-printed recording surface, pre-printing should be done in
accordance with the conditions (ink type, printing and other conditions) recommended by the
paper manufacturer, and the thermal paper should be checked to ensure that there is no
faulty printing, loss of print density, or other problems.
