Setup
To begin using your Puqu thermal label paper, ensure you have a compatible Puqu label machine. The paper is designed for easy loading.
- Open the label compartment of your Puqu label machine according to its specific instructions.
- Place the roll of Puqu thermal label paper into the compartment, ensuring the paper feeds correctly through the printer mechanism. The printing surface should face the print head.
- Close the label compartment securely.
- Perform a test print to ensure proper alignment and print quality.

Operating Instructions
Puqu thermal label paper is designed for direct thermal printing, meaning no ink ribbons are required. Its self-adhesive backing allows for easy application to various surfaces.
- Printing: Use your label machine's software or app to design and print your desired labels. Ensure the label size selected in the software matches the physical label paper size (e.g., 40x30mm or 40x50mm).
- Application: Once printed, carefully peel the label from its backing and apply it to a clean, dry surface. The strong viscosity ensures secure adhesion.
- Durability: The scratch-resistant surface helps maintain label readability and appearance over time.

Maintenance
Proper storage and handling will ensure the longevity and quality of your thermal label paper.
- Storage: Store label paper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong fluorescent lighting. Excessive heat or light can cause the thermal coating to darken prematurely.
- Handling: Avoid touching the thermal printing surface with bare hands as oils and dirt can affect print quality. Handle rolls by the edges.
- Chemical Exposure: Keep the labels away from chemicals, especially those containing plasticizers (e.g., PVC binders, plastic wraps), as these can react with the thermal coating and cause fading.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while using your Puqu thermal label paper, consider the following common solutions:
- Faint or Missing Print:
- Ensure the label paper is loaded correctly with the thermal side facing the print head.
- Check your label machine's print head for cleanliness. Dust or debris can obstruct printing.
- Verify that the label machine's print density settings are appropriate.
- Labels Not Feeding Correctly:
- Ensure the label roll is properly seated and aligned in the machine.
- Check for any obstructions in the paper path.
- Confirm that the label machine's sensors are clean and functioning.
- Poor Adhesion:
- Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
- Apply firm, even pressure when attaching the label.
User Tips
- Compatibility Check: Always verify that the label paper size (e.g., 40x30mm or 40x50mm) matches the specifications of your Puqu label machine to ensure optimal performance and prevent jamming.
- Test Prints: Before printing a large batch, always perform a small test print to confirm settings and alignment.
- Environmental Considerations: While the paper is scratch-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh environments (extreme temperatures, high humidity, direct sunlight) can still affect its lifespan and readability.
