Thermal paper handling
—
The thermal paper is heat-sensitive. Follow the precautions below while handling it.
The thermal paper will start to discolor gradually at about 70° C (158°F).
It should not be exposed to heat, humidity or light, even when not in use.
To store it, take the following precautions.
1. Store in a dark, cool and dry place.
Avoid storing near heat-generating appliances or in enclosed places subject to high temperatures (the trunk
of a car, for example).
2. Once the package is opened, use the pape~"as soon as possible.
1. If the thermal paper is touched with sweaty hands, fingerprints or smeared images may result.
2. If the thermal paper is rubbed against a hand, coloring may be caused by heat due to friction.
3. Coloring or erasure may occur if oil or other chemicals are allowed to come into contact with the paper.
Be careful in the following cases:
When
gluing, use only
water-soluble glue (commercially available).
When some adhesive
tapes are used, coloring
may result. The use of double-sided tapes on the back of
the
paper is recommended.
When storing the paper in plastic cases,
use ones that are made of polyethylene, polypropylene or
pOlyeStW
(Do not use PVC cases.)
Do not stack the
paper along with polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) films or heat-sensitive wax-type paper. The
recorded images wil I fade, as these materials contain plastics.
Do not stack the paper with diazo- or wet-ty~e photocopies immediately after they have been copied on.
Ammonia, etc., may cause discoloring.
The
paper will discolor
if it comes into contact with alcohol or other volatile organic solutions.
4. Avoid exposing the paper to direct sunlight, as this tends to cause yellowing.
