  • Page 7: Operating Precautions

    Operating Precautions This section presents important information intended to ensure safe and effective use of the printer. Please read the following carefully. Notes on Safety Be sure to use the specified battery and power source provided by our company. Connection to an improper power source may cause fire, explosion or damage to the printer.

  • Page 8: Notes On Using

    Notes on Using Be sure not to print continuously over 1 meter, otherwise may cause damage to the print head. Water or other liquid should not spill into the printer, also the printer should not be appeared in the rain, or else may cause printer damage.

  • Page 9: Notes On Handling

    may reduce the print quality even damage the printer. In the black mark detecting mode, the printer requires that the ready-print black mark is accordant with the black mark printing rules (details please refer to Chapter 5), otherwise the black mark can not be detected correctly. Be sure to use up the electricity of the battery before charge it, as it can ensure the using life of the battery.

    Binding: once the printer remembers the device’s address, it only can connect with the device and can’t connect with others. So in this case, if the printer needs to connect with other device, user can delete the remembered address. No binding: in this case, the printer can be searched or paired by any other device.
