NOTICE

Please read this manual carefully before using the printer!

Notice of Safety

Be sure to use the specified battery and power supply provided by our company. Otherwise it
may cause fire, explosion or damage printer, meanwhile, the battery also may be damaged.
Don’t put battery into the fire, don’t disassemble or heat the battery, don’t be short circuit, it
may cause fire, explosion or damage printer, meanwhile, the battery also may be damaged.
If the printer would not be used for a long time, be sure to take off the battery, otherwise the
battery may leak liquid which is corrosive liquid, if improper operation causes battery leak
liquid, and it paste in the skin or clothes, please rinse it by clean water, if paste in the eyes,
please rinse them thoroughly by clean water and see a doctor. Please do not open the paper
case cover when it is printing or just when printing is finished, do not touch the printer head
with hand or body, overheat may cause scald.

Notice of Using

Water or other liquid should not be spilled into the printer, also the printer should not be
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-20℃
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.

after pressed the【POWER】button for 1 second, the power indicator go out, then loosen the

【POWER】button, the printer is off.

3.2.3 Paper Feeding (Manual Feeding)

Under the normal work status, press 【FEED】 button, the paper feeding begins, and stop

when loosen 【FEED】 button. When the printer works in black mark mode, press【FEED】

button, the printer begins to feed paper and stops over the position of black mark. If the paper

is not the black mark paper, the printer stops automatically after feeds paper for 30cm.Being

out of paper，insert paper into paper port ，the printer stops automatically after feeds paper

for 10 cm

3.2.4 Self-Test

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 when you hear ‘one low one high ’prompt

tone, the current setting and status will be printed out.

3.2.5 Hexadecimal Printing

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 presentation.

50HZ, then plug the power charging plug to the power socket of the printer, so the power

charging begins. During the course of power charging, the charging indicator 【CHARGE】 goes

red, and【CHARGE】turns to blue when the charging is full. It takes about 4 hours to charge up

the battery. Using the printer during the course of charging power will make the charging time

go longer. It shows the failure if the charging indicator【CHARGE】goes blue and red during the

course of charging. Such as faulty installation of battery, faulty contact of battery or internal

temperature of battery is too high or too low.

3.3 Printer Parameters Setting

Users can set more parameters by using the specified 〈T7 Setting Tools 〉 software through

computer. The setting includes: language、font、printing density、default code page、bluetooth

device name and password (only T7-BT) etc. The setting method please refer to the <T7

Setting Tools Software Help>, offered with the software together.

3.4 Printer Interface Connection and Printing

3.4.1 USB Connection

The T7 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 T7

to print by the Bluetooth interface. T7 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 T7 Printer, the

initial password is ‘1234’; users can change the printer name and password by using<T7

Setting Tools> software. Please see the details in help file of <T7 Setting Tools>.

Before working, T7 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 T7 BT Printer;

4. Enter the password ‘1234’;

5. Pairing finished.

Please see details in primary device Bluetooth function instruction for reference.

Notice:

1, When pairing, please make T7 BT switch on.

until it unconnected with the host.

3, The power indicator flashing after paired successful.

3.4.3 Function of Bluetooth Address Binding

Bluetooth Binding: once the printer remembers the device’s address, it only can connect with

the first device and can’t connect with others. So in this case, if the printer needs to connect

with other devices, user can delete the remembered address or set the mode is not binding.

No binding: in this case, the printer can be searched or paired by other devices. So when the

printer needs to connect with a fixed device, it would be better to bind address. Please see the

details in help file of<T7 Setting Tools>
