1.3 Paper Specification
1.3.1 Continuous Paper
1.3.2 Notices
Pls. use the recommended thermal paper or same quality paper, otherwise it will influence the
printing quality and decrease the thermal printer head life.
Don’t stick the paper on the roll paper core.
If the thermal paper is polluted by chemical or oil, the thermal paper heat sensibility decreases,
which will influence the printing quality.
Don’t use finger nail or hard articles to touch the surface of thermal paper, otherwise it will cause
color fading.
When the environment temperature is higher than 70°C，the thermal paper color will fade, so pay
attention to the influence of temperature, humidity and sunlight.
