appeared in the rain, or else may cause printer damage. Please do not open the paper case
cover when it is printing, otherwise the printer may work improperly. If printer is using USB
connection to work, should not unplug the USB cable, or else some printing data may be lost.
When printer is using USB connection to work, the distance of communication should be
within 10 meters, otherwise the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes. Too high（45℃）
or too low（5℃） environment temperature and too high (85％) or too low (20％) environment
humidity both effect the printing quality. The printer paper roll with poor quality or stored for
too long time also may reduce the printing quality even damage the printer. Under the black
mark detecting mode, the printer requires that the pre-printed black mark is accordant with the
printing rule of black mark (please refer to details in Chapter 4.2), otherwise the black mark
can not be detected correctly. Be sure to use up the power of the battery before charge up it,as
it can ensure the using life of the battery.
Notice of Storing
The printer should be placed in such an environment that the temperature is between-40℃ and
70 ,℃ and the relative humidity is between 10% and 95%. If the printer will be stored for a
long time, please be sure to take out the battery, otherwise may damage the battery and printer.
Normal thermal paper receipt can’t be kept too long, if you need to keep the receipt for a long
period, please choose long-term effective thermal paper. The thermal paper should be keep
away from high temperature environment and point-blank sunshine, please store it where is
away from light if it have been open.

After receiving the printer, user can check its current setting and status at anytime.
Self-test way is as below: Power off, then hold down the 【FEED】 button and press the power
button at the same time. Then loosen the【FEED】button and power button when you hear ‘one
low one high ’prompt tone, the current setting and status will be printed out.
Hexadecimal Printing
3.2.5
The function of hexadecimal printing is to print the information received from host machine
by hexadecimal numbers and corresponding characters. It will be convenient to debug
application.
Into hexadecimal printing: Power off, hold down the【MODE】button and press the power
button at the same time. Then loosen the power button and press the【FEED】button when you
hear ‘one low one high’ prompt tone of power on. After that you may loosen the 【MODE】
button and 【FEED】 button. The printer turns into the hexadecimal printing mode and print the

device name and password etc. The setting method please refer to the <T9Setting Tools
Software Help>, offered with the software together.
3.4 Printer Interface Connection and Printing
3.4.1 USB Connection
The SP-RMT9 printer of standard accessories includes Mini USB cable which connects printer.
The USB type belongs to the slave device type.
3.4.2 Bluetooth Connection
Handheld device, laptop and other information terminal devices with Bluetooth can drive
SP-RMT9 to print by the Bluetooth interface. SP-RMT9 portable printer is compatible with
Bluetooth2.0 standard. Power class is CLASS 2, effective communication distance is 10meters.
The Bluetooth of the printer belongs to the slave device. The initial name of the printer is
SP-RMT9 Printer, the initial password is ‘1234’; users can change the printer name and
password by using<T9 Setting Tools> software. Please see the details in help file of <T9
Setting Tools>.
Before working, SP-RMT9 Portable Thermal Printer need to be pairing with primary device，
matching begins with the host device. Usual matching course is as below:
1. Switch on printer;
2. Host device searches for the outer Bluetooth device;
3. If there are other Bluetooth devices, please select SP-RMT9 BT Printer;
4. Enter the password ‘1234’;
5. Pairing finished.
Please see details in primary device Bluetooth function instruction for reference.
