I would make sure you have the correct paper. It's a thermal print head & requires the correct paper. Like a register receipt.
Soma Medical has the correct paper
P/N 4305DAO
$75
I hope it not the recorder
P/N 8300G-1
$850

I would look around you may be able to buy it cheaper on ebay.
We actually got rid of all of our old 118 units.

Do recorders ever need to be cleeaned? Do you know how the recorder marks the paper? I took lid off but want to take anything apart without a little research.

I came into work today looking for the manual or any left over parts. We got rid of everything. We gave everything to KMA remarketing.

We even got rid of the guy that used to work on them about a year ago.
You can probally call KMA for some tech support

Sorry Man.
I know you can clean the head (usually with a cleaning strip ran thru it) and the whole printer assy is probably modular. There may be a knob to adjust the darkness, you probably already found that.
This place has cheaper paper & maybe cheaper parts then soma
