Star SP700 Bond Paper Rolls 3" x 165' | 50 Rolls | American Made

Star SP700 Impact Printer Bond Paper Rolls: American-Made 3" x 165'

American-made bond paper rolls for the Star Micronics SP700 series impact printers. Commonly used in restaurant kitchen printers, retail counters, and other impact printing environments where heat, steam, and grease would ruin thermal paper. These 3" x 165' single-ply bond rolls are built for demanding daily use. The SP700 is an impact printer that uses an ink ribbon to print on bond paper. These rolls deliver clean, lint-free feeding with consistent paper weight throughout. Available in cases of 50 rolls.

Specifications

▶ Bond Paper vs Thermal Paper

The Star SP700 requires bond paper. It cannot use thermal paper. These are two completely different types of paper for two different types of printers.

If you put thermal paper in an SP700, the printer will still strike the ribbon, but the heat and friction may cause the thermal paper to darken in unpredictable ways. Always use bond paper in impact printers.

▶ How to Load Paper in the Star SP700

1. Pull the paper cover release lever to open the top cover of the printer
2. Remove the empty core from the paper bay
3. Place the new roll into the bay. The paper should feed from the bottom of the roll, coming up and over toward the front of the printer
4. Pull a short length of paper through the feed path past the tear bar or auto-cutter
5. Close the top cover firmly until it latches
6. Press the feed button to advance paper and confirm it is feeding correctly

If the print is faint or missing, check that the ink ribbon cartridge is properly seated and not worn out. Bond paper requires a functioning ribbon to print.

▶ Troubleshooting Common Star SP700 Paper Issues

• Printing is blank or very faint? The ink ribbon is worn out or not installed. Bond paper requires a ribbon to print. Replace the ribbon cartridge (Star RC-700B or RC-700BR)
• Paper jams during service? Check that the roll is seated properly and the paper path is clear. Remove any torn paper fragments. If jams persist, the paper may have inconsistent thickness or rough edges. Switch to quality American-made bond paper
• Print has streaks or missing dots? The printhead pins may be obstructed by paper lint. Clean the printhead with a soft brush. If specific dots are consistently missing, the printhead may need replacement
• Paper feeds but nothing prints? Confirm the ribbon cartridge is installed and properly seated. The ribbon must be between the printhead and the paper. Also check that the POS system is sending print jobs to the correct printer
• Red printing not working (two-color ribbon)? Confirm you have a two-color ribbon (RC-700BR) installed, not a black-only ribbon (RC-700B). The printer must also be configured in the POS system to send red-highlight commands
