    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is my printer only working when I pull the paper backwards, and why are the prints coming out upside down?

    Answer

    Based on the Phomemo M02 User Guide, your issue is likely caused by the paper being installed incorrectly. Please check the following steps to resolve the printing direction and orientation issues:

    • Check Paper Orientation: The most common cause for "blank" or reversed printing is that the thermal paper is facing the wrong way. Ensure the glossy side of the thermal paper is facing upward toward the print head.
    • Verify Paper Path: The paper should feed naturally through the paper output slot. If you have to pull it backwards to make it work, the paper roll may be installed upside down or the paper holder may not be aligned correctly.
    • Check the App Settings: If the image is simply upside down but the quality is fine, check the Phomemo App. In the "Print Images" or "Graphic Function" section, you can rotate or flip your image before sending it to the printer.
    • Reset the Device: If the printer is behaving erratically, you can gently poke the reset hole (located near the USB port or power button depending on the specific M02 revision) to restart the device.

    If the paper is jammed or not feeding forward, ensure the paper holder is properly installed on the right side and that there is no debris in the paper path.

    Note: Thermal printers only print on one side of the paper. If the paper is loaded with the thermal coating facing the wrong direction, it will appear as though it is not printing or only printing when manipulated.
