5.3.1 Receipt (thermal) Paper  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes: The above is a view of the factory. Otherwise, please adjust by customers. For 

details about how to customize printing region settings, see section 8 “Memory 

Switch Specifications”.    

 

5.3.2 Label Paper   

 

CAUTION

 

1)  Do not use roll paper whose end is glued to its core, because the printer will be unable to 

properly detect the end of the paper. Also, we recommend that you use roll paper that has 

a roll end mark at its end. 

2)  Chemicals  and  oil  may  cause  the  roll  paper  to  change  color  or  cause  the  printed 

characters to become lighter. 

3)  Please be aware that the roll paper can be affected by heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. 

4) The roll paper may change color if you scratch it with your fingernail, a hard piece of metal, 

etc. 

5)  Please  use  Star  recommended  Label  Paper.  A  Label  Paper    or  roll  paper  whose  end  has 

been  glued  by  tape  or  adhesive  to  the  core  may  result  in  the  printer  being  unable  to 

properly detect the end of the paper or may cause damage to the mechanism, voiding the 

warranty.
