Installation
Paper storage
The instrument is supplied with a thermal printer. This type of printer requires a heat-sensitive
paper to create an image. For maximum paper life, any spare rolls of paper should be stored as
follows:
a. Store in the dark, i.e., in a drawer or cabinet
b. Do not store above 77 F (25 C)
c. Store at less than 65% relative humidity
The above recommendations are for the maximum paper life (greater than five years). Storing
your thermal paper at high temperatures or high humidity levels will only shorten the total
paper life somewhat, depending on the actual temperature and humidity the paper is subjected
to. The paper will show some darkening if stored for 24 hours at 113 F (45 degrees C) and a
relative humidity of greater than 90%, so avoid leaving your paper in a hot car or other hot area
overnight. Always avoid storing unused paper or printed tests in a lighted area..
