Paper Roll for Printing
The printer uses a dedicated roll of paper provided by YOKOGAWA. Do not use any
other type of paper roll. When using the printer for the first time, use the roll of paper
that is included in the package. Order extra rolls from your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer
as listed on the back cover of this manual.
Part No.

Specifications

Sold in Packs of : 5 rolls
Handling the Roll of Paper
The paper is a thermal-sensitive paper that changes color with the application of heat.
Take note of the following points.
Storage precautions
The paper starts changing color at around 70
°
C. It is affected by heat, humidity, light,
and chemicals regardless of whether the paper has been used of not. Note the
following points.
• Store the paper in a cool, dry, and dark place.
• After opening the package, use it quickly.
• If the paper is left in contact for long periods of time with plastic film (such as a vinyl
chloride film or Scotch tape) containing plasticizers, the paper will lose some of its
ability to reproduce color. As a result, for example, if you are going to store the
paper in a folder, use a folder made of polypropylene.
• When using glue on the paper, do not use a glue containing organic solvents such
as alcohol or ether, as they will change the color of the paper.
• For prolonged storage, we suggest you copy the roll chart. Due to the
characteristics of the thermal-sensitive paper, the recording section may lose color
over time.
Precautions on use
• Use only rolls of paper provided by YOKOGAWA.
• Touching the paper with sweaty hands can leave finger print marks or blur the
printing.
• Rubbing the surface with a hard object can cause the paper to change color due to
the heat caused by friction.
• If chemicals, oil, or other liquids come in contact with the paper, the paper may
change color or the printing may fade.
