To prolong the battery life of your printer, ensure it is charged regularly, especially if it will not be used for an extended period. Avoid completely draining the battery frequently.
4.2 Cleaning the Print Head
If print quality degrades or lines appear on your printouts, the print head may need cleaning. Gently wipe the print head with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the printer is turned off and completely dry before resuming use.

5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Printer Cannot Connect to Bluetooth
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.

- Restart both your phone and the printer, then try connecting again.
- Check the app permissions to ensure Bluetooth access is granted.
5.2 Pictures Printed in Light Colors
- In the "Fun Print" app's print settings, adjust the "Density" setting. A larger value typically results in a clearer, darker image.
