4.2. Downloading the PeriPage App
The PeriPage P10 printer requires the dedicated PeriPage app for full functionality, including design templates and advanced printing options. Follow these steps to download the app:
- Search for "PeriPage" in the Google Play Store (for Android devices) or the Apple App Store (for iOS devices).
- Alternatively, scan the QR code provided in the image below using your smartphone's camera to directly access the app download page.
- Install the app on your device.
4.3. Connecting via Bluetooth
To use the app's features, connect your P10 printer to your smartphone via Bluetooth:
- Ensure your P10 printer is powered on and within Bluetooth range of your smartphone.
- Open the PeriPage app on your smartphone.
- Navigate to the device connection section within the app (usually indicated by a printer icon or "Connect the device").
- The app will search for available devices. Select "P10" or a similar device name to connect.
- Once connected, the app will confirm the successful connection.
4.4. Loading Label Paper
The P10 printer uses 12-15mm wide thermal label paper. Only Peripage brand labels are supported for optimal performance.
- Gently open the printer's cover.
- Insert the label roll into the compartment, ensuring the printing side of the paper faces the print head.
- Pull a small length of paper out past the cutting edge.

5. Operation
5.1. Voice-Activated Date Printing (Offline)
The P10 printer features a unique offline voice control function for printing dates. This function currently supports English voice commands only.
- Ensure the printer is powered on.
- Press and hold the main button on the printer. The printer will prompt you to "Please state the date, month, and year in three paragraphs, three seconds apart."
- Speak the date clearly, for example: "Seventeen" (pause) "October" (pause) "Twenty Thirty".
- The printer will process your voice command and print the date on the label.
- To print the next date, press and hold the button again and repeat the process.
This feature is ideal for quickly labeling items with expiry dates, manufacturing dates, or other time-sensitive information without needing to connect to an app.
5.2. App-Controlled Printing
For more versatile labeling, use the PeriPage app. After connecting your printer via Bluetooth (Section 4.3), you can:
- Create Custom Labels: Design labels with text, icons, frames, pictures, 1D/QR codes, and more.
- Utilize Templates: The app offers extensive templates for various uses like life classification, office organization, DIY journals, and gift packaging.
- Print Images: Print small images or graphics directly from your phone.
Examples of app-controlled printing applications:
- Life Marker: Labeling seasoning jars, clothes storage, data cables, and personal items.
- Daily Office: File identification, item indexing for documents.
- DIY Journal: Adding decorative elements and notes to journals.
5.3. Cutting Labels
After printing, use the integrated concealed blade cutter for a clean edge. Simply push the button up to activate the cutter and tear the label.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Peripage P10 printer.
- Cleaning the Print Head: If print quality degrades, gently wipe the thermal print head with a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the printer is off and completely dry before use.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the printer. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the printer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the label roll if storing for extended periods.
