Am I allowed to do a daily printout from the tachograph?
I’d like a printout , firstly to help me do my daily paper work but also to keep for my own records.
The training manager seemed to think VOSA might not be happy with me doing this?
Any advice■■?
There is nothing to stop you doing a printout after every shift, but once you have a print out it is deemed a legal document & needs to be treated as such
You boss might not like it as your costing him money on lots of tacho rolls

No, the only printouts that have any special status are those which are required to be made (and kept/handed in) due to manual entries etc. Those which are produced for the driver’s own convenience or to make filling in time sheets etc easier are simply pieces of paper which may be disposed of, kept, given away at the whim of the driver.

I do one at the end of every day, and keep it with my diary showing where I have been etc, I also keep my cab stocked with Tacho rolls, for the cost of them its not worth pestering the boss for them, and I can print out whenever I like and no questions asked.
Awesome, thanks guys!

Thermal paper is not ideal for record keeping purposes as it tends to fade over time.

just print it out and add imfo to diary
If it works It’s OK to use cheap thermal printing paper for your own records but it’s no good for legally required printouts, your company have to keep any legally required printouts for 12 months, 24 months if the tachograph records are being used to track your working time.
As has been said cheap printing paper won’t stand the test of time.

You do know that you can see the information on the head unit without printing anything at all…?
