De-curl function
This machine provides the de-curl function to correct curls generated in thermal paper roll. The de-curl mechanism is always running during paper feeding.
- However, this function cannot remove curls completely.
- A receipt may be slightly folded near the top depending on the time in which receipt paper is left during the period from when a receipt is printed until the next one.
- The de-curl effect varies depending on the paper you use or your environment.
- Depending on the type or remaining amount of thermal paper roll, a receipt may be warped in a direction opposite to the normal direction by the de-curl function.
