Cautions

• ⚠️ Do not use the printer for any use and purpose other than the function described in this manual, as that may lead to accidents or damage to the printer.
• ⚠️ Only official MakeID labels can be used on this printer; please do not use other branded labels.
• ⚠️ Do not touch the print head with fingers. If the print head is dirty, please wipe it gently with alcohol-based cleaning wipes.
• ⚠️ Do not place any foreign objects in the label exit as this may damage the printer.
• ⚠️ Do not place the printer in direct sunlight or rain, near heaters or other heat-generating devices, dashboards, the rear of cars, and in any area exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity or dust. Standard operating temperature range is 5°C - 35°C.
• ⚠️ Do not stick the label onto any place where your hands often touch. Sweat and friction make the printing fade.
• ⚠️ Do not expose the label paper to chemically based liquids, such as liquid soap, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid or alcohol etc, for long periods of time, otherwise it will shorten the life of the label paper.
• ⚠️ Do not wipe the label with alcohol-based cleaning items.
• ℹ️ Thermal inkless printing is a special printing technology. If it is wrongly used, the printing color will fade. Label papers should be used at room temperature, stuck in dry and smooth places that are not often touched.
