17.7 Local Printer Paper Replacement
The instructions below describe the replacement of local printer paper. Use only
recommended local printer paper, P/N 0683-00-0505-02. This ensures that the print quality
is acceptable and reduces print head wear.
1. Open local printer door by pulling the paper eject lever.
2. Remove empty paper spool.
3. Insert new paper roll into the paper holder with the sensitive (shiny) side of the paper
facing the print head at the top of the local printer (paper feeding off of the spool from
the bottom).
4. Unroll approximately 4 inches of paper.
5. Align the paper across the top of the roller.
6. Holding the paper in place, close local printer door.
7. To ensure that the paper is aligned properly and has not been pinched in the door, pull
the loose edge out a couple of inches. If the paper jams, open the door and return to
step 5.
17.8 Care and Storage of Thermal Chart Paper
Thermal Chart Paper is chemically treated and the permanency of a recording is affected by
storage and handling conditions. These conditions are:
• Ultraviolet Light
We recommend storing the recordings in a filing cabinet within a few days of printing.
Long term exposure to natural or artificial U.V. sources is detrimental.
• Storage Temperature and Humidity
Keep the recordings in a cool and dry area for a longer lasting image. Extreme
temperature and humidity (above 80° F/26° C and 80% Humidity) should be avoided.
• Solvent Reactions
Do not store the recordings in plastic bags, acetate sheet protectors, and similar items
made from petroleum products. These products emit a small amount of vapor which will,
over a period of time, deteriorate the image on the chart paper.
• Adhesive Tape
Never place adhesive tape over recordings. The reaction between the adhesive
compound and the chemical/thermal paper can destroy the image within hours.
•Archives
We recommend that if long term archives are required, make a photocopy of the
recordings as back-up. Under normal office filing conditions the recordings should retain
acceptable image quality for about 5 years.
