Roll Paper Handling
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.
• Store the paper rolls in a cool, dry, and dark place.
• After opening the package, use it quickly.
• If the paper is left in contact with plastic film (such as a vinyl chloride film or Scotch
tape) containing plasticizers for an extended time, the paper will lose some of its
ability to reproduce color. If you are going to store the paper in a folder, for example,
use a folder made of polypropylene.
• When using glue on the paper, do not use glue containing organic solvents such as
alcohol or ether, as they will change the color of the paper. Such act can lead to
malfunction.
• For prolonged storage, we suggest you copy the roll paper. Due to the characteristics
of the thermal-sensitive paper, the recording section may lose color over time.
Handling Precautions
• Be sure to use only genuine paper rolls 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.
