8.4 THERMAL PAPER TAKE-UP DEVICE
Take into consideration the following items when designing the thermal paper take-up device.
1) After printing, the paper must be taken up without being pulled taut.
2) Even when paper guides have attached as shown below, if the thermal paper is pulled taut, correct
contact between the thermal head and the thermal paper can not be obtained and printing will be
adversely affected.
