Setup
1. Unboxing and Initial Charge
Upon unboxing, ensure all components are present: the Instax Share SP-2 printer and a micro USB charging cable. The printer is equipped with a rechargeable lithium metal battery.

2. Loading Instax Mini Film
To load the film, locate the film compartment door on the bottom of the printer. Open the door and insert a new pack of Instax Mini film, aligning the yellow marks on the film cartridge with the yellow marks inside the printer. Close the compartment door securely. The printer will automatically eject the dark protective sheet from the film pack.

3. Installing the Instax SHARE App
Download the free "Instax SHARE" app from your smartphone's app store (available for iOS v5.1 or later and Android v2.3.3 or later). This app is essential for connecting your device to the printer and managing print jobs.
Operating Instructions
1. Powering On and Connecting
Press the power button on the printer to turn it on. The LED indicators on the top will light up. On your smartphone, open the Instax SHARE app. The app will guide you to connect to the printer via Wi-Fi. Select the printer's Wi-Fi network from your phone's settings. You may need to enter a password, which can be found in the app's settings or the printer's documentation.

2. Selecting and Editing Photos
Within the Instax SHARE app, you can select photos from your device's gallery. The app offers various editing options, including zooming, rotating, and applying filters (e.g., custom filter, intelligence filter, black and white, sepia). You can also choose from different templates, create collages, or split photos across multiple prints.

3. Printing Photos
After selecting and editing your photo, tap the "Print" button in the app. The image data will be transferred to the printer, and the print will emerge from the top slot. Printing takes approximately 10 seconds. Allow the print to develop for a few minutes to reveal the full image quality.

Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Printer
Regularly wipe the exterior of the printer with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Do not attempt to clean the interior of the printer or the film ejection slot with any objects, as this may damage the mechanism.
2. Battery Care
The printer uses a rechargeable battery. For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the printer when the battery indicator shows low power. If the printer will not be used for an extended period, charge it periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to prevent deep discharge.
3. Film Storage
Store Instax Mini film in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Do not open the film pack until you are ready to load it into the printer, as exposure to light can damage the film.
Troubleshooting
- Printer not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the printer to a power source using the micro USB cable.
- Cannot connect to Wi-Fi: Verify that the printer is powered on and your smartphone's Wi-Fi is enabled. Ensure you have selected the correct "Instax" network and entered the correct password if prompted. Try restarting both the printer and your phone.
- Prints are blank or discolored: Check if the film is loaded correctly and not expired. Ensure the film compartment was not opened after the dark slide was ejected, as this exposes the film to light. Allow prints sufficient time to develop.
- Printer not ejecting film: Check if there is film loaded in the printer. If the film is jammed, gently open the film compartment and carefully remove any obstruction. Do not force the film.
- App not responding: Close and restart the Instax SHARE app. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the app.
