Setup and Installation
To ensure proper function, install the Ohaus 12120799 paper roll correctly into your SF40A printer. Refer to your SF40A printer's specific user manual for detailed instructions on opening the paper compartment and loading the roll. Generally, the steps involve:
- Ensure the SF40A printer is powered off.
- Open the printer's paper compartment cover.
- Insert the Ohaus 12120799 paper roll into the designated slot, ensuring the paper feeds from the bottom of the roll towards the print head.
- Pull a small length of paper out past the print head.
- Close the paper compartment cover securely.
- Tear off any excess paper, leaving a clean edge.
Proper loading prevents paper jams and ensures consistent print quality.
Operating Considerations
Once installed, the paper roll will automatically feed as the SF40A printer generates printouts from connected Ohaus balances or scales. The continuous nature of the roll allows for extended printing sessions without frequent paper changes. Ensure that the printer's settings, such as date, time, and baud rate, are correctly configured via the PC configuration software for accurate data reporting.
- Print Quality: The Ohaus 12120799 paper is designed to provide clear and legible printouts when used with the SF40A printer.
- Data Documentation: This paper roll is integral for documenting weighing results, supporting traceability and compliance requirements, especially with GLP/GMP data output.
Maintenance and Storage
To maintain the quality and longevity of the Ohaus 12120799 paper rolls:
- Store unused rolls in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
- Avoid exposing the paper to extreme temperatures or moisture, which can affect print quality and paper integrity.
- Handle rolls by the edges to prevent contamination from oils or dirt, which could transfer to the print head.
Troubleshooting
While the paper roll itself has few points of failure, issues related to printing often involve the paper. Consider the following if problems arise:
- Paper Jams: Ensure the paper roll is loaded correctly and not skewed. Check for any debris in the paper path of the SF40A printer.
- Poor Print Quality: Verify that the paper is inserted with the correct side facing the print head. If print quality remains poor, the issue may lie with the printer's print head or ribbon (if applicable), not the paper itself.
- Paper Not Feeding: Confirm the roll is seated properly and not stuck. Check the printer's feed mechanism for obstructions.
For persistent issues, consult the Ohaus SF40A printer manual or contact Ohaus customer support.
