Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Printer
To ensure optimal print quality and prolong the life of your printer, regularly clean the print head and the interior of the device. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
2. Battery Care
The printer is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. For best performance, charge the device fully before first use and when the battery is low. Avoid completely draining the battery frequently. If storing the printer for an extended period, charge it to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.
