7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HPRT MT660 printer, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Print Quality Issues (e.g., deep/shallow prints, ghosting, blurriness):
  - Ensure the stencil paper is loaded correctly and is of good quality. Using recommended HPRT stencil paper can improve results.
  - Check for any debris in the paper path or on the print head. Gently clean if necessary.
  - Verify that the printer's battery is sufficiently charged. Low power can affect print consistency.
• Blank Pages or Unexpected Paper Ejection:
  - This may occur during internal calibration. While normal, frequent occurrences might indicate a paper loading issue. Re-load the paper carefully.
  - Ensure the paper type selected in the app (if applicable) matches the physical paper being used.
• Wireless Connection Disconnections:
  - Ensure your mobile device's Bluetooth is active and within range of the printer.
  - Restart both your mobile device and the printer.
  - Re-pair the printer through the "Hereprint" app.
  - Check for app updates, as connectivity issues can sometimes be resolved with software improvements.
• Printer Not Responding (e.g., red light always on):
  - Power cycle the printer (turn it off and on again).
  - Ensure the printer is charged. A persistent red light might indicate a low battery or a fault.
  - If the issue persists after basic troubleshooting, contact customer support.

For persistent problems not resolved by these steps, please refer to the Warranty and Support section.
