►Please use the recommended thermal paper or same quality paper, otherwise it will
influence the printing quality and decrease the thermal print head life.
►Don’t stick the paper on the paper roll mandril.
►If the thermal paper is polluted by chemical or oil, the thermal paper heat sensibility
decreases, which will influence the printing quality.
