Hi My Topcon A/R KR 8900 does not print any longer. Is there a way to replace the ink?

The Topcon A/R KR 8900 uses thermal printer paper and does not require ink replacement. Instead, ensure that the correct 58mm wide thermal paper roll is used (e.g., TF50KS-E2C). When the red line appears on the paper or “PAPER END” is displayed, replace the paper roll following the instructions in the "PRINTER PAPER SETTING" section.
