A.MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
1. Printer mechanism handing
1) Do not pull the paper out when the cover is closed.
2) Because the thermal elements of the print head and driver ICs are easy to
break, so do not touch them with any metal objects.
3) Since the areas around the print head become very hot during and just after
printing, do not touch them.
4) Do not use the cover open button except when necessary.
5) Do not touch the surface of the print head because bust and dirt can stick
to the surface and damage the elements.
6) Thermal paper containing Na, K, Cl ions can harm the print head thermal
elements.
Therefore, be sure to use only the specified paper.
7) If you want to use label paper, please contact your dealer for assistance.
2. Thermal paper handling
Notes on using thermal paper
Chemicals and oil on thermal paper may cause discoloration and faded printing.
Therefore, pay attention to the following;
1) Use water paste, starch paste, polyvinyl paste, or CMC paste when gluing
thermal paper.
2) Volatile organic solvents such as alcohol, ester, and ketone can cause
discoloration.
3) Some adhesive tapes may cause discoloration or faded printing.
4) If thermal paper touches anything which includes phthalic acid ester plasticizer
for a long time, it can reduce the image formation ability of the paper and
can cause the printed image to fade. Therefore, when storing thermal paper in
a card case or sample notebook, be sure to use only products made from
polyethylene, polypropylene, or polyester.
5) If thermal paper touches diazo copy paper immediately after copying, the
printed surface may be discolored.
6) Thermal paper must not be stored with the printed surfaces against each
other because the printing may be transferred between the surfaces.
7) If the surface of thermal paper is scratched with a hard metal object such as
