3. Allow the print head to air dry completely before closing the cover and resuming use.

The iDOO Thermal Label Maker is equipped with a 1200 mAh rechargeable lithium battery. To maximize battery life:

• Fully charge the device before first use and whenever the battery indicator turns red.
• The device features an automatic shutdown function after 20 minutes of inactivity to conserve power.
• Store the label maker in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iDOO Thermal Label Maker, try the following solutions:

• Connection Issues: If the app fails to connect via Bluetooth, ensure the label maker is powered on and fully charged. Try restarting both the label maker and your mobile device's Bluetooth. Re-pair the device within the app if necessary.
• Printing Problems: If labels are printing incorrectly (e.g., gibberish, misalignment), verify that the correct label size is selected in the Joyprint App. Check the paper exit direction and print density settings. Ensure the label tape is loaded correctly and not jammed.
• Inconsistent Prints: If prints are uneven or inconsistent, ensure the label tape is properly aligned within the machine. The serrated edge for tearing labels may require manual assistance if not tearing cleanly.
• Device Not Responding: If the device is unresponsive, check the battery level. If the indicator light is red, charge the device. If the issue persists, try turning the device off and on again.
