FAQs & Troubleshooting

Are there any precautions needed when using thermal paper?

Precautions when using thermal paper:

 

  • The following substances will adversely affect the surface or the quality of the paper.
    • Polyvinyl chloride
    • Organic compound (alcohol, ketone, ester, etc.)
    • Adhesive tape
    • Gum eraser
    • Rubber mat
    • Washable or permanent marker
    • Felt pen
    • Correction fluid
    • Carbon
    • Glue
    • Diazo type paper
    • Cosmetics

  • Do not let the paper cassette or paper get wet, otherwise it will adversely affect the quality of the paper, causing poor printing or a malfunction.

  • When using a rubber stamp on the thermal paper, some inks may adversely affect the quality of the paper.

  • When pasting, use water-based adhesives, such as starch, poval or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC).

  • Do not scratch or rub the surface of the thermal paper. The paper will be discolored in response to the heat caused by friction.

  • We strongly recommend copying important documents on plain paper for long-term storage.

  • Only use paper cassettes designed for the MPrint. Third party cassettes may cause a malfunction or unexpected results.
    We are not liable for any damages caused by using non-Brother products with your MPrint.

 

Precautions when storing thermal paper:

 

  • Your paper cassette should be stored in the original packaging materials or in a foil wrapper and kept in a dark, cool (20-25 degrees Celsius), and dry (50-60%) place.
