Acceptable Print Media
Print Media is defined as the type of material you will be using in the
machine to time stamp (time cards, documents, etc.). To avoid damaging
the print head, it is recommended that you do not exceed a media thickness
of 0.3 mm (0.01"). The following are general specifications for the different
media dimensions.
 Time Card: Time card thickness less than or equal to 0.3 mm (0.01").
 Small Ticket: Tickets, slips, receipts or other validation media should be
no smaller than 100 mm (4”) long x 60 mm (2.25") wide.
 Larger Paper: When using standard paper sizes, such as 8.5" x 11", if
the weight of the paper (thickness) is too light, the paper will curl up and
tear off inside the TCX-85 clock. This may result in jams or damage to the
clock.
Note – Amano recommends using the manual print method (see
“Setting the Print Method”) for large paper and transparent media
printing.
 Carbon Paper: The TCX-85 clock will print on both carbon and
carbonless paper. The imprint will print through up to four copies,
depending on the quality of the document used. Carbon and carbonless
paper deteriorates over time. Humidity, high temperatures and sunlight
accelerate this process. For maximum print performance, use only high
grade, uncontaminated carbon or carbonless paper.
Adjusting the Print Margin
If you wish to change the default margin adjustment, locate the Margin
Selector on the print platen once the cover has been removed and slide in
the direction of the arrows to adjust the print margin (see next page).
This selector will move the Paper Sensor forward or backward on the
Printer Platen and determine how much of a margin there is between the
imprint and the edge of the print media. The margin can be adjusted to a
maximum of 15 mm (0.6").
