Thermal paper

84
Replacement rolls of thermal paper with a width of 60 mm and an ex-
ternal diameter of approx. 50 mm can be obtained from the machine
manufacturer.
When this is stored under the following conditions, the text will re-
main legible for at least 7 years:
- Avoid direct light
- Constant room temperature between 18 °C and 25 °C
- Relative humidity of max. 40–60 %
The durability of the thermal printout is reduced by:
- A faulty printer head in the thermal printer
- The thermal printer being set incorrectly; the printout appears faded
- Prolonged exposure to temperatures above 40 °C
- Storage in a damp or wet environment over a long period
- Contact with plasticisers, which are found, for example, in PVC
films
- Contact with oils, fats or alcohol
- Contact with aggressive chemicals
- Direct sunlight
Unfavourable conditions will cause the text on the printout to fade.
The printout will not be legible and the data to be documented will
therefore be lost.
Avoid all influences which will impair the durability of the thermal
printout.
Prepare a backup copy on thermostable paper if necessary.
