Step 2: Close the top cover. Then, edit and print your label using the APP. (If the label is improperly installed, the indicator light will turn red.)

Connecting Your Phone to the Printer

The "MakeID-Life" APP is required to use the printer. Connect the printer through the APP, not through your phone's system Bluetooth settings.

Step 1: Open the APP, search for and connect to the printer. Remember to grant Bluetooth permission.

Step 2: For first-time users, select the printer type.

Step 3: Click the icon in the top right corner of the APP to search for the device, and then click to connect.

How to Print Labels

There are two types of labels:

• Continuous Label: No limitation on label length.
• Discontinuous Label: Fixed label length with a space between each label.

Illustrations comparing continuous and discontinuous label tape. Continuous label has no length limit. Discontinuous label has fixed length with gaps between labels. Available sizes are 12x35mm and 12x50mm.

Printing Discontinuous Labels

1. On the APP home page, create a new label and choose "Discontinuous Label".
2. Select the label size (e.g., 12x35mm or 12x50mm). Tip: Selecting the wrong size may result in printing misalignment.
3. Click "A" to edit the text.
4. Click the "Print" icon, and choose the number of labels to print.

Since the first discontinuous label identifies the label position, it may not print completely. It is recommended to print 2 or 3 labels for the first print. The printing effect should be good from the second label onwards. The label position will be re-identified when the discontinuous label is replaced or the printer cover is opened.

Printing Continuous Labels

1. On the APP home page, create a new label and choose "Continuous Label".
2. Click "A" to edit the text, and "" to change the font.
3. Click "" to add icons.
4. Click "Print" to print. Press the Cutter button (✂️) to cut off the label.

How to Use the Label

Step 1: Remove the back paper from the label.

Step 2: Stick the label onto any dry and smooth object.

Usage Notice of Thermal Materials

Thermal inkless printing is a special technology. Incorrect use can cause fading.

• Do not stick labels where hands frequently touch, as sweat and friction can fade the print.
• Avoid prolonged contact with chemical liquids (e.g., liquid soap, detergent) as this shortens the label's life.
• Do not wipe labels with alcohol-based cleaners.
• Keep away from high temperatures or direct sunlight, which can lighten the label's color.

For best results, apply labels in a dry, smooth, room-temperature environment that is not frequently touched.

Common Troubleshooting

1. Unable to connect to the printer with the phone

• A: Ensure the printer is powered on and Bluetooth is enabled.
• B: Verify that the APP has been granted all necessary permissions (for connection, not privacy risks).
• C: Power off the printer, uninstall and reinstall the APP, then re-grant permissions and try connecting again.

2. The printer's red indicator light flashes

• A: Check if a label is inserted and correctly installed. For new labels, remove the transparent lead and pull the label to the line mark.
• B: Ensure the printer's top cover is securely closed.

3. Abnormal Printing

• Restart the printer and close the APP, then try again.
• Restart the printer, uninstall and reinstall the APP, then try again.

If the problem persists, contact the customer service from the shop where the product was purchased.

4. Blurred Printing

• A: Low temperatures may cause blurred printing. The recommended operating temperature is 10°C-35°C.
• B: Connect to the printer and adjust the print density to the highest setting via "Device Management" > "Printer Density".
• C: The print head may be dirty. Gently wipe the print head with alcohol and wait 2 minutes before use.
