Precautions

Safety Precautions

Be sure to use the specified battery and power source provided by our company. Connection to an improper power source may cause fire, explosion, or damage to the printer.
Don’t put the battery into the fire or water, don’t disassemble or modify the battery, don’t be short circuit, otherwise may result in injury or fire even explosion.
If the printer would not be used for a long time, be sure to take off the battery, otherwise, the battery may leak liquid which is corrosive, if improper operation causes battery leak, and the liquid is spattered on the skin or clothes, please wash it with water, if spattered in the eyes, please rinse them with water thoroughly and see a doctor.
Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing or just when printing is over, do not touch the print head with hand or body, overheating may cause scald.

Operation Precautions

Water or other liquid should not spill into the printer, also the printer should not appear in the rain, or else may cause printer damage.
Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing, otherwise, the printer may work improperly.
If printing with serial interface, should not unplug the interface cable in the course of printing, or else some printing data may be lost.
When printing in Ir or mode, be sure the Ir window of the host equipment faces rightly the Ir window of the printer, the distance should be within the range of 50cm, and the angle should be within the range of 30°.
When printing with a Bluetooth interface, the communication distance should be within 10 meters, otherwise, the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes.
Too high (so·c) or too low (-st:) temperature and too high (80%) or too low (25%) relative humidity both affect the print quality
The print paper in poor quality or stored for a too long time also may reduce the print quality even damage the printer.
In the black mark detecting mode, the printer requires that the preprinted black mark is accordant with the black mark specifications (details please refer to 5.2), otherwise the black mark can not be detected correctly.
Be sure to use up the power of the battery before charging it, as it can ensure the using life of the battery.

Storage Precautions

The printer should be placed in such an environment that the temperature 1s between -40C and +60C, and the relative humidity is S93%RH{40 °C).
If the printer will be stored for a long time, please be sure to take out the battery, otherwise may damage the battery and printer.
Normal thermal paper can’t be kept too long, if you need to keep the receipt for a long period, please choose long-term effective thermal paper.
The print paper should be kept away from high-temperature environments and point-blank sunshine.

Battery Safety Precautions

Be sure to carefully read the user manual before using the product. Ignoring the following instructions may cause battery overheating, fire, explosion, damage and/or performance, and reduced product life.

Do not allow water, seawater from entering or leaking into the battery inside. If the battery’s internal safety device burns when charging it, it may produce any abnormal current and/or voltage, and cause any abnormal chemical reaction, then may cause the battery to overheat, fire, and/or explosion.
Do not use or place the battery nearby the stove or other high-temperature places. Excessive heat may damage the resin shell and/or the insulation materials, thereby causing short-circuit inside the battery, then the battery may be caused by overheating, burning, and/or explosion.
When charging, use a specified charger. Other conditions (high temperature, high pressure/high current, using the modified battery charger, etc.) excluded here may result in over-charging the battery and abnormal current and/or voltage, cause an abnormal chemical reaction and may cause the battery to overheat, light and/or explosion.
The battery clearly marked with positive and negative. When connecting the battery with the charger and/or printer, be sure to verify the correct battery orientation. Reverse insertion will cause the reverse charging and may cause an abnormal chemical reaction, and then may cause the battery to overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
Do not make battery contact with the power outlet and/or car cigarette lighter socket. This may cause high pressure and excessive current and lead to the battery overheating, burning, and/or explosion.
Do not heat the battery or put the battery into fire. This may melt insulation material and/or damage safety devices or safety equipment, then ignite electrolytic solution, and cause the battery to overheat, burn, and/or explosion.
Do not use the battery with contrary (+) and (-) Location. In the charging process, this will cause reverse charging and may cause abnormal chemical rea中on. During use, may appear unpredictable current exceptions, and cause the battery to overheat, ignite, and/or explosion.
Do not make the battery(+) and (-) contact with any metal. Also, do not carry along or store batteries with metal objects, such as necklaces, hair clips, and so on. Battery internal short circuit may cause excessive current, and lead to the battery overheating, igniting, and/or explosion and the adjacent metal objects (necklaces, hairpins, etc.) may be overheating.
Do not throw or heavily attack the battery. If the internal safety device of the batteries burns, the battery charging may cause any abnormal current and/or voltage, and abnormal chemical reaction, and lead to the battery overheating, igniting, and/or explosion.

Operation Methods

Preparation Before Using

4.1.1 Li-ion Battery Installation

Refer to the picture, put the battery in the ba廿ery slot, please pay attention to the correct insert,(+) and(-).
Close the battery case.

Operation methods:

Use two fingers to press the place shown in the picture and open the upper cover.
Put the paper into the paper case, pay attention to the direction of the paper. If loaded reversely, it won’t print.
Pull the paper out of the paper case.
Make sure paper in the center then close the upper cover.

Basic Function

4.2.1 Printer On
The printer is powered on by pressing the power button; the power indicator is on with red color whenever the printer is on.
Note: when the battery is almost exhausted, the power indicator blinks with blue color, in this case, you must charge the battery by using the adaptor. The method of charging the battery, please refer to 4.2.5.

4.2.2 Printer Off
The printer is off after holding down the power button for 2 seconds. All the indicators are off whenever the printer is off.
4.2.3 Self-test
The self-test checks the printer’s current se中ngs, status, and whether the printer has any problems. Hold down the [FEED] button while pressing the [Power] button for about 3 seconds, the self-test begins.
The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self-test.
4.2.4 Paper Feeding
When the printer works under the non-blackmark mode, the user could use the [FEED] button to feed paper manually. The printer will stop feeding when reaching max feeding distance.
