The app allows you to adjust print depth for optimal results. For images, it is recommended to use the high definition printing mode and adjust the print depth between 4 and 7. For text, you can choose between image printing mode (emphasizes overall effect) or text printing mode (emphasizes text clarity), adjusting depth as needed.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Print Head

If printing becomes unclear after repeated use, the print head may need cleaning. The laser bar (print head) is located in the paper loading compartment. Gently wipe it with a cotton swab lightly dampened with alcohol. Ensure the printer is turned off before cleaning.

Troubleshooting

• Printer not connecting via Bluetooth:
  Ensure the printer is turned on and fully charged. Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and that you are connecting through the "Tiny Print" app, not directly through your phone's Bluetooth settings. Restart both the printer and your phone if issues persist.
• Unclear or faded prints:
  Check the paper roll to ensure it is loaded correctly with the print side facing up. Adjust the print depth setting in the "Tiny Print" app (recommended depth 4-7 for high definition). If the problem continues, clean the print head as described in the Maintenance section.
• Paper not feeding:
  Verify that the paper roll is inserted correctly and that a small portion extends out of the printer before closing the lid. Ensure there are no obstructions in the paper path.
• Printer not turning on:
  Connect the printer to the power cable and ensure it is charging. If the battery is completely drained, it may take a few minutes for the indicator light to appear.
