6.5 WHERE TO MOUNT THE PAPER HOLDER
When designing the layout of the paper holder, note the followings. The recommended configuration of the
paper holder is shown in Figure 6-6.
Design the paper holder and the paper guide so that the thermal paper will be straight to the paper
inlet port without any horizontal shifting and so that the center axis of the paper roll will be parallel to
the printer when using paper roll.
Design the paper holder so that the paper feed load should be 0.49N (50gf) or less. Be aware that
the printing problem and paper feed problem may occur in the following case even if it is below
0.49N. Design the paper holder so as not to make these conditions and verify the performance with
your actual device.
ex)
In case that the paper roll wobbles in the paper holder.
In case that tension of the thermal paper between the paper roll and the printer changes rapidly.
In addition, do not use following types of thermal paper:
Expanded paper roll
Deformed paper roll
Roll core is sticking out.
Width of the paper roll is out of spec
