Notes on Use

Printer and recording paper
Printer
・ Using the printer in a high-temperature or high-humidity environment
should be avoided at all costs. This can seriously reduce the printer life.
・ Because the thermal printing head is subject to high temperatures during
printing, do not touch the head itself or its support sections either during or
directly after printing. Care is also necessary when replacing the paper or
during maintenance. For paper replacement, refer to Section 4.4, "Loading
Recording Paper."
・ Because the motor is subject to high temperature during operation, do not
touch it either during or directly after printing.
・ To prevent the motor from being overheated, do not press the feed switch
continuously for more than 3 minutes.
Recording paper
・ This unit uses a thermal printer. The recording paper supplied has
characteristics finely tuned for use with the printer.
Using recording paper of a different specification may not only result in
impaired printing quality, but even prevent the printer from operating.
Always use the
HIOKI
specified product.
・ If light reaches the paper over a long period, the paper will discolor. Do not
unwrap rolls of paper until you are ready to use them.
・ The recording paper uses a thermochemical reaction. Note the following
points:
・ To avoid discoloration, do not leave recording paper in direct sunlight.
Store at not more than 40
℃ and 90% rh.
・ To keep definitive data, make photocopies of the recordings.
・ If the thermal paper absorbs an organic solvent such as alcohols or
ketones it may no longer develop properly, and recorded information may
fade. Soft PVC film and transparent contact adhesive tape contain such
solvents, so avoid using them with recordings.
・ Avoid interleaving the thermal recordings with damp diazo copies.
