Is it easy for wax based carbon ribbon to get stuck during the printing process?

Enhanced wax based carbon ribbon may experience tape jamming during the printing process, but this situation is not inevitable and is influenced by various factors.

The reasons for the jamming phenomenon of enhanced wax based carbon ribbon may include:

1. Carbon ribbon installation issue:

The carbon ribbon is not properly wrapped around the machine, such as incorrect installation direction or the recycling end not firmly adhered to the recycling shaft.

The tension of the carbon ribbon supply shaft is too high, exceeding the maximum tension that the carbon ribbon can withstand, causing the carbon ribbon to break or jam.

2. Internal issues with the printer:

The internal components of the printer, such as the paper roller, sorter, sensors, etc., are worn, dusty, or damaged, which affects the normal transmission of the carbon ribbon.

There are foreign objects inside the printer, such as paper scraps, dust, etc., which hinder the operation of the ribbon.

3. Printing settings and environmental issues:

Improper printing settings, such as incorrect paper type settings, high printing resolution settings, and fast printing speeds, may increase the risk of tape jams.

Placing the printer in an unstable location, or in an environment with high, low, or humid temperatures, may also affect the normal operation of the printer and cause tape jams.

4. Carbon ribbon quality issues:

If there are quality issues with the carbon ribbon itself, such as blown base film or uneven carbon ribbon coating, it may also cause tape jamming during printing.

To reduce or avoid the occurrence of tape jamming during the printing process of wax based carbon ribbons, the following measures can be taken:

1. Correctly install carbon ribbon:

Ensure that the carbon ribbon is properly wrapped around the machine and the recycling end is firmly adhered to the recycling shaft.

Check if the installation direction of the carbon ribbon is correct to avoid reverse installation.

2. Regularly clean the printer:

Regularly clean the dust and debris inside the printer to keep it clean.

Check if there are any foreign objects inside the printer, such as paper scraps, dust, etc., and clean them in a timely manner.

3. Adjust print settings:

Reasonably set the printing paper type, printing resolution, and printing speed according to printing requirements and paper types.

Avoid printing too fast to reduce the risk of carbon tape stretching and breakage.

4. Choose high-quality carbon ribbon:

Choose reinforced wax based carbon ribbon with reliable quality and good compatibility to ensure it meets printing requirements.

5. Improving the printer usage environment:

Place the printer in a stable location, avoiding vibration and shaking.

Control the temperature and humidity around the printer to avoid being too high or too low.

In summary, enhancing wax based carbon ribbon may result in tape jamming during the printing process. However, by correctly installing the carbon ribbon, regularly cleaning the printer, adjusting print settings, selecting high-quality carbon ribbon, and improving the printer's operating environment, the occurrence of tape jamming can be effectively reduced or avoided.
