How to install printing paper for electronic scales
The installation of electronic scale printing paper is a common problem that many users encounter when using electronic scales. The correct installation method can ensure the normal use of the printing function and avoid paper jams or unclear printing. This article will introduce in detail the installation steps of electronic scale printing paper, and attach relevant data to help users solve the problem quickly.
1. Types of printing paper for electronic scales

Electronic scale printing paper is usually divided into two types: thermal paper and ordinary paper. Here's how they compare:
| Type | Features | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| thermal paper | No ink required, color develops through heat | High-frequency usage scenarios such as supermarkets and logistics |
| plain paper | Requires ink or ribbon | Printed records that need to be kept for a long time |
2. Installation steps
The following are the detailed installation steps for electronic scale printing paper:
1.Preparation: Make sure the electronic scale is turned off and have suitable printing paper ready.
2.Open the paper compartment: Locate the printing paper compartment of the electronic scale, usually located on the side or back, and gently open the compartment cover.
3.Place printing paper: Place the printing paper into the paper bin, making sure the direction of the paper roll is correct (the smooth side of the thermal paper faces the print head).
4.Pull out part of the paper: Pull out the leading edge of the printing paper and pass it through the paper outlet of the printer to ensure that the leading edge of the paper is exposed to a sufficient length.
5.Close paper bin: Gently close the paper compartment cover to ensure that the printing paper is firmly fixed.
6.Test printing: Turn on the electronic scale and perform test printing to confirm that the printing paper is installed correctly.
3. Common problems and solutions
The following are problems you may encounter during the installation process and their solutions:
| question | Reason | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Printing is not clear | The paper orientation is wrong or the print head is dirty | Adjust the paper orientation or clean the print head |
| paper jam | The printing paper is too thick or there is foreign matter in the paper bin. | Replace appropriate printing paper or clean the paper compartment |
| Unable to feed paper | Paper is not placed correctly | Reinstall the printing paper, making sure the paper end is exposed |
4. Precautions
1.Choose the right printing paper: Select the appropriate printing paper type according to the model and usage requirements of the electronic scale.
2.Avoid direct sunlight: Thermal paper may cause writing to disappear if exposed to sunlight for a long time, so it should be stored properly.
3.Regular cleaning: Keep the print head and paper bin clean to avoid dust from affecting the printing effect.
4.When to replace printing paper: When the remaining amount of printing paper is insufficient, it should be replaced in time to avoid printing interruption.
5. Summary
Although the installation of electronic scale printing paper is simple, it requires attention to details, especially the type and direction of the printing paper. With the steps and problem-solving methods in this article, users can easily complete the installation and avoid common problems. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, it is recommended to contact the after-sales service or professional technicians of the electronic scale.
