  2. Make sure there are no particles on the surface of labels to avoid damage to the TPH (Thermal Printer Head).
  3. For Windows users, please keep using the same USB Port on your computer to avoid producing unexpected duplicated copies of the printer on your computer.
  4. The label size of the Vevor Y428/Y428BT printer is default to 4×6″ (102mm x 152mm). Each time you change different label sizes, please run the Intelligent Label Study process before printing.
  5. In case labels keep coming out unexpectedly, just press the feeder button to pause the printer, and clear the printing job from your computer.
  6. If there are white spots on printed labels, it indicates that the printer head needs cleaning. Stop printing, and clean the TPH (Thermal Printer Head) after cooling to avoid burns.
  7. When the label is jammed accidentally, please open the lid and take out the jammed labels slowly and patiently. The printer will resume after cleaning.
