6. CARE/HANDLING OF THE PAPER
Do not store the paper for longer than the manufacture’s recommended shelf life.
Store paper rolls on the flat end, do not store them on the curve sides as this might flatten that
side causing erratic media advance and poor print quality.
Store the paper in plastic bags and always reseal after opening. Unprotected paper can get dirty
and the extra abrasion from the dust and dirt particles will shorten the print head life.
Store the paper in a cool, dry place. Avoid areas where they would be exposed to direct sunlight,
high temperature, high humidity, dust or gas.
Contact with chemicals or oil may discolor or erase the printed image.
Rubbing the paper hard with nail or hard object may discolor the paper.
The paper end should not be pasted to the core.
The thermal paper used for direct thermal printing must not have specifications that exceed Na
+
800ppm, K
+
250ppm and Cl
-
500ppm.
Some ink used on pre-printed labels may contain ingredients that can shorten the print head’s
product life. Do not use labels pre-printed with ink that contain hard substances such as carbonic
calcium (CaCO
3
) and kaolin (Al
2
O
3
, 2SiO
2
, 2H
2
O).
For further information please contact your authorized TOSHIBA TEC representative or paper
manufacturer.
CAUTION:
Use only paper that meets specified requirements. Use of non-specified paper may shorten the head life of the
printer, resulting in problems with print quality, cause a paper feed failure or shorten the cutter life. All paper
should be handled with care to avoid any damage to the paper. Read the following guideline carefully.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Utilisez uniquement un papier conforme aux spécifications requises. L'utilisation du papier non spécifié
pourra réduire la durée de vie de l'imprimante, entraînant des problèmes avec la qualité d'impression, la
panne du bac d'alimentation en papier ou raccourcir la vie du coupeur. Tout papier doit être manipulé avec
soin pour éviter tout dommage quelconque. Lisez attentivement cette directive.
