As an indispensable consumable in modern business activities, the storage and maintenance of thermal cash register paper directly affect the printing effect and service life. Mastering the correct storage method can not only ensure the printing quality, but also avoid unnecessary waste. The following are several key tips to extend the service life of thermal cash register paper.
1. Storage away from light is the key
Thermal paper is extremely sensitive to light, especially the ultraviolet rays in the sun will accelerate the aging of the coating. It is recommended to store unused thermal paper in a cool and dark cabinet or drawer to avoid direct sunlight. The thermal paper roll in use should also be kept away from windows or direct light areas near the cash register as much as possible.
2. Control the ambient temperature and humidity
The ideal storage environment temperature should be between 20-25℃, and the relative humidity should be maintained at 50%-65%. High temperature will cause the thermal coating to react prematurely, while a humid environment may cause the paper to become damp and deform. Avoid storing thermal paper in places with large temperature and humidity fluctuations such as kitchens and basements.
3. Keep away from chemicals
Thermal coatings react easily with chemicals such as alcohol and detergents. Keep away from these items when storing. When cleaning the cash register, be careful to avoid direct contact of detergents with thermal paper. At the same time, do not use pens containing organic solvents to mark thermal paper.
4. Reasonable inventory planning
Follow the “first in, first out” principle to avoid large-scale hoarding. It is generally recommended that the inventory should not exceed 3 months of usage, because even if properly stored, the printing effect of thermal paper will gradually decrease over time. When purchasing, pay attention to the production date and choose products produced recently.
5. Correct installation and use
Ensure that the paper roll rotates smoothly during installation to avoid excessive pulling and paper damage. Adjust the print head pressure to moderate. Excessive pressure will accelerate the wear of the thermal coating, and too little pressure may cause unclear printing. Clean the print head regularly to prevent carbon deposition from affecting the printing effect.
The above methods can significantly extend the service life of thermal cash register paper and ensure stable printing quality. Good storage habits can not only save costs, but also avoid customer disputes caused by unclear printing, providing reliable protection for business operations.
