ASTM-F1320 › Standard Test Method for Evaluating Thermal Paper Employing a Facsimile Thermal Printer as a Test Instrument
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This test method covers a standardized procedure utilizing the facsimile thermal printer as an imaging device for measuring the performance properties of direct thermal paper.
1.2 This test method may also be used to evaluate some imaging properties of facsimile printers.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific warning statement, see 9.1.
Significance and Use
This test method will permit the user to make comparisons of image quality and machine performance for thermal paper. This test method is not intended for manufacturing control testing.
This test method is designed to test only thermal papers designed for use with facsimile machines. The test method is not appropriate for the evaluation of thermal papers designed for use with calculators, chart recorders, and other thermal printers.
