21.1 Loading Roll Paper Into the Built-In Printer
(Optional)
This section explains how to load roll paper into the built-in printer (/B5 option).
Printer Roll Paper
Only use YOKOGAWA roll paper for the PX8000. When using the printer for the first time, use the
roll paper supplied with the PX8000. When you need extra roll paper, please contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA dealer.
Part Number: B9988AE
Specifications: Heat-sensitive paper, 10 m
Minimum Quantity: 10 rolls
Handling Roll Paper
The roll paper is made of heat-sensitive paper that changes color thermochemically. Please read the
following information carefully.
Storage Precautions
The heat-sensitive paper changes color gradually at temperatures of approximately 70°C or higher.
The paper can be affected by heat, humidity, or chemicals, whether something has been recorded
on it or not. As such, please follow the guidelines listed below.
• Store the paper in a cool, dry, and dark place.
• Use the paper as quickly as possible after you break its protective seal.
• If you attach a plastic film that contains plasticizing material such as vinyl chloride film or
cellophane tape to the paper for a long time, the recorded sections will fade due to the effect of
the plasticizing material. Use a holder made of polypropylene to store the roll paper.
• When starching the record paper, do not use starches containing organic solvents such as
alcohol or ether. Doing so will change the paper’s color.
• We recommend that you make copies of the recordings if you intend to store them for a long
period of time. Because of the nature of heat-sensitive paper, the recorded sections may fade.
Handling Precautions
• Only use genuine YOKOGAWA roll paper.
• If you touch the roll paper with sweaty hands, there is a chance that you will leave fingerprints on
the paper or smudge the recorded sections.
• If you rub the surface of the roll paper against something hard, there is a chance that the paper
will change color due to frictional heat.
• If the roll paper comes into contact with chemicals, oil, and the like, there is a chance that the
paper will change color or that the recorded sections will disappear.
Loading the Roll Paper
CAUTION
• Do not touch the print head. If you do, you may burn yourself.
• Do not touch the roll paper cutter section at the end of the printer cover. Doing so may
cause injury.
