To avoid paper jam in the printing process of wax-based carbon tape, you can start from the following aspects:
First, choose the right paper
1.Paper specifications: Ensure that the paper specifications used are consistent with the printer requirements and Settings to avoid paper jams caused by inappropriate paper sizes.
2.Paper quality: Choose good quality paper, avoid using too thin or too thick paper, and the surface is too smooth or easy to drop fiber powder of poor quality paper. It is recommended to use 70g-80g copy paper to ensure that the paper can pass smoothly during printing.
Second, the correct installation of carbon tape and paper
1.Carbon tape installation: Install the carbon tape correctly according to the printer instructions to ensure that the carbon tape is firmly installed and the tension is moderate. Avoid improper installation of carbon tape caused by the carbon tape in the printing process to fall off or wrinkle, resulting in paper jam.
2.Paper installation: Ensure that the paper is placed flat into the printer feed slot and use a baffle to hold the paper in place to prevent the paper from shifting or folding during printing. At the same time, check whether the paper feeding position is blocked by foreign bodies to ensure that the paper feeding is smooth.
Third, keep the printer clean
1.Regular cleaning: Clean the inside of the printer regularly, especially the key components such as the paper rolling wheel and the separation pad. These components are easy to accumulate dust, paper scraps and other debris, affecting the transmission effect of paper. Gently wipe these parts with a clean cloth dipped in water and wrung out to keep their surfaces clean.
2.Avoid moisture: Ensure that the printer is stored in a dry environment to avoid moisture resulting in poor printing results or paper jams. If the carbon strip or paper is damp, it should be dried in time before use.
Fourth, adjust the printer Settings
1.Print quality Settings: Adjust the print quality Settings of the printer according to actual needs to avoid high print quality resulting in paper transmission difficulties.
2.Paper type Settings: Select the correct paper type in the printer Settings, so that the printer can adjust the printing parameters according to the paper characteristics, reducing the risk of paper jams.
Fifth, pay attention to the printing environment
1.Temperature and humidity: Keep the temperature and humidity of the printing environment within the appropriate range to avoid the shrinkage and deformation of paper or the stickiness of the print head caused by environmental factors, which will cause paper jam. It is generally recommended that the room temperature be maintained at 20-24 degrees and the relative humidity be maintained at 45%-55%.
2.Avoid static electricity: Static electricity may also cause the paper to stick together or on the printer's internal components, increasing the risk of paper jam. The effects of static electricity can be reduced by increasing indoor humidity or using anti-static paper.
Sixth, timely handling of paper jams
1.Correct taking of paper: Once the problem of paper jam occurs, the printer should be turned off immediately, and wait for the printer to completely stop running before taking of paper operation. When taking the paper, slowly pull out the paper in the direction of the paper to avoid tearing the paper or damaging the printer parts.
2.Check for residue: After taking out the cardboard, carefully check whether there is any residual paper scraps or debris inside the printer to ensure that the printer is clean and non-blocked.
To sum up, by choosing the right paper, installing the carbon tape and paper correctly, keeping the printer clean, adjusting the printer Settings, paying attention to the printing environment, and dealing with the problem of paper jams in the printing process, you can effectively avoid the problem of paper jams during the printing process.
