The

in
the
thermal
receipt

must
meet
the
following
requirements:
Width

Important
Paper
has
a
significant
manufacturing
tolerance
and
nominal
paper
designations
do
not
reflect
actual
measurements.
The
manufacturing
tolerance
must
fall
within
the
published
operating
thickness
range.
IBM
strongly
recommends
that
customers
test
paper
in
their
specific
configuration
before
use.
The
intent
of
this
specification
is
that
if
any
spot
measurement
of
the
paper
is
outside
the
specified
range,
the
paper
is
deemed
not
to
meet
the
specification
and
the
customer
is
responsible
for
any
problems
caused
by
paper
jams.
The
paper
must
be
wound
with
the
printing
side
facing
out.
The
paper
should
not
be
attached
to
the
core
in
any
manner.
A
red
stripe
of
1.5
to
2.1
m
(5
to
7
ft.)
should
indicate
the
end
of
the
roll.
Note:
Papers
that
meet
these
criteria
include
Appleton
Optima
POS
and
Seiko
(Jujo)
papers.
Important
Printer
reliability
and
performance
are
directly
related
to
the
quality
of
the
supplies
used
by
the
customer.
The
published
parameters
for
printer
performance
are
established
using
supplies
that
meet
the
specifications
listed
above.
Thermal
paper
with
watermarks,
coupons,
or
advertisements
printed
on
the
front
or
back
of
the
paper
is
not
covered
by
IBM
specifications.
Some
inks
and
printing
processes
will
work
acceptably,
while
others
will
not.
Printer
problems
that
are
caused
by
supplies
that
do
not
meet
IBM
specifications
may
result
in
a
billable
service
call,
regardless
of
the
existence
of
a
service
contract.
