5. Maintenance

5.1. Cleaning the Print Head

To maintain print quality, periodically clean the thermal print head. Turn off the printer and allow it to cool. Gently wipe the print head with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Allow it to dry completely before use.

5.2. Thermal Paper Care

Thermal paper is sensitive to heat, light, and certain chemicals. Store thermal paper in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure of printed documents to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or contact with plastics containing plasticizers, as this can cause the print to fade over time.

6. Troubleshooting

• Printer Not Connecting via Bluetooth:

  Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and the printer. Verify that the "Jadens Printer" app has necessary location and Bluetooth permissions. Try restarting both the printer and your mobile device. If issues persist, refer to the app's connection guide or the printer's indicator lights for status.
• Printer Not Connecting via USB:

  Confirm that the correct driver for your operating system (Windows/Mac) is installed. Try a different USB port or cable. Ensure the printer is powered on.

• Poor Print Quality or Fading:

  Check if you are using thermal paper. Regular paper will not work. Ensure the thermal paper is loaded correctly with the printable side facing the print head. Clean the print head as described in the Maintenance section. If prints are fading quickly after printing, ensure the thermal paper is not old or improperly stored.

• Printer Not Printing:

  Check if the printer is powered on and has sufficient battery charge. Ensure there is thermal paper loaded correctly. Verify the printer is properly connected to your device (Bluetooth or USB) and selected as the active printer in your application.
• Understanding Indicator Lights:

  The printer features indicator lights that convey its status (e.g., power, battery, error). Refer to the quick start guide included with your printer for a detailed explanation of specific light patterns and their meanings.
