Basic Media Mounting Considerations

The KR403 printer has a few basic requirements for dispensing the media to the printer from a

roll or fan-fold media. The KR403 printer exclusively uses direct thermal media and it is

chemically treated to react to heat. Some of these basic considerations include:

• Align Printer with Media - The center line of the media roll or fan-fold stack should

align with the center of the printer to provide the best image quality and keep the

media un-damaged. Always use a media guide when printing!

• Media Only Contacts Media Mounting and Printer in Kiosk - The media should

not touch cables, other kiosk components, or surfaces other than media guides or the

fan-fold media tray.

• Do Not Blow Air on Media - Air should be pulled out of the media area of the kiosk

to keep dust (shortens printhead life and affects print quality), aerosol bourn

chemicals (such as cleaning solutions like ammonia) and exhaust heat from other

kiosk components and power supplies.

• Direct Sunlight, Incandescent or Infrared Lighting or Heat Sources - These light

sources can come from kiosk vents and other kiosk components. Incandescent light

bulbs and heat sinks are examples of heat sources that shouldn’t be near the printer,

media or media storage areas.

• Media Dispensing Must Be Smooth and Easy - Roll media must be able to turn with

little or no drag, and allow the printer to smoothly pull media without jerking and

stopping. Larger, heavier media rolls are more susceptible to these issues. Minimize

roll to roll holder contact and avoid sharp contact surfaces. Fan-fold media must have

sufficient room to unfold and not bind on media guide surfaces or at the perforations

or sides. The printer can get distorted print (e.g. compressed print, short receipts, etc.),

motor stalls, and jamming if media dispensing to the printer is not smooth and easy

for the printer.

Media Supply Method

The KR403 printer supports two basic media supply method types: outside wound roll mount

and stacked fan-fold receipt media. The media printing surface faces up towards the ‘top’ of

the printer and away from the body of the printer.
