- Paper Handling: Use only high-quality thermal paper specified for this printer. Store thermal paper in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent degradation.
- Battery Care: Charge the printer regularly, even if not in frequent use, to maintain battery health. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods.
- Storage: When not in use, store the printer in a clean, dry environment, away from dust and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Printer not connecting via Bluetooth:
- Ensure the printer is powered on and the green light is flashing. Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and you are connecting through the "Tiny Print" app, not directly through your phone's Bluetooth settings.
- No ink is coming out:
- This is a thermal printer and does not use ink. It prints by heating the thermal paper. If no print appears, check if the thermal paper is loaded correctly with the printing side facing the print head, or if the paper roll is empty.
- Print quality is poor or faded:
- Check if the thermal paper is old or has been exposed to heat/light. Try replacing the paper roll. Also, ensure the print head is clean (refer to Maintenance section).
- Cannot print stickers:
- The printer supports making stickers, but it requires adhesive thermal paper. The standard paper provided is regular printing paper without stickiness. Please purchase suitable adhesive thermal paper separately if you wish to print stickers.
