PRECAUTIONS FOR THERMAL PRINT HEAD

PRECAUTIONS FOR MAINTAINING PRINT QUALITY
Using anything other than the specified paper may reduce print quality and life of the
thermal print head. The followings are examples of incorrect paper:
- Poor printing quality due to low thermal sensitivity
- Abrasion of the thermal print head due to paper surface roughness
- Paper jams and unusual noise due to the thermal layer of the thermal paper sticking
to the thermal print head
- Printing fade due to low preservability of the thermal paper
- Electrolytic corrosion of the thermal print head due to inferior paper
Do not open the paper packaging until ready to use.
Do not use a paper roll with glued end or folded end. In case of using such roll papers,
replace with a new one before the end of the paper roll to prevent damage to thermal
print head.
Do not print without paper; otherwise, the thermal print head may be damage.
Do not hit or scratch the surface of the thermal print head with any sharp or hard
object. This could damage the thermal print head.
Do not release the platen unit during printing; otherwise this may reduce the efficiency
of the printer and may cause damage.
If the platen is exposed to dirt, use a cotton swab soaked in alcohol to clean the platen.
