Setup
1. Charging the Printer
Before first use, fully charge the printer. Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the printer's charging port and the other end to a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The built-in 1000mAh rechargeable lithium battery takes approximately 1.5 hours to fully charge.
2. Loading Thermal Paper
This printer uses thermal paper with a width of 210mm or 218mm (A4 size). Ensure you use thermal paper specifically designed for thermal printers. Open the paper compartment cover, insert the thermal paper with the printable side facing the print head (usually the smoother, brighter side), and close the cover securely. Incorrect paper orientation will result in blank prints.
