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 60 ,℃ and the

relative humidity is between 5% 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.

When the printer is off, turn on the power while holding down the FEED button. After hearing “one low
and one high” buzzer rings, the self-test begins.

3.2.4 Paper Feeding

When the printer works normally, hold down 【FEED】button, the paper feeding begins, and stops
when stopped holding the【FEED】button. When the printer works in black mark mode, hold down
【FEED】button, the printer begins to feed paper and stops at the position of black mark. If the paper is
not black mark paper, the printer stops automatically after feeds paper for 30cm.

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.

Enter hexadecimal printing: When the printer is power off, hold down the【MODE】button, then press
the power button. Then loosen the power button and press the【FEED】button when you hear ‘one low
one high’ buzzer rings. After that you may loosen the 【MODE】button and 【FEED】 button. The
printer turns into the hexadecimal printing mode and print the presentation.

Quit hexadecimal printing: The way to quit hexadecimal printing mode is switch off the printer or
press the 【FEED】 button for three times. The printer will also print the presentation which shows that
the printer have quitted hexadecimal printing mode.

3.2.6 Printer Parameters Setting

This function is used to set some simple printing parameters.

Enter parameter setting: When the printer is off, hold down the【MODE】button, then press the power
button. Then loosen the power button firstly, and loosen the【MODE】button secondly when you hear
‘one low and one high ’buzzer rings. The printer turns into the parameters setting mode. Print out the
first item which can be set parameters and the current numerical value. Please see details in the
appendix as below.

Quit parameter setting: Hold down【MODE】button firstly and press【FEED】button secondly, then
loosen 【MODE】 button and 【FEED】 button. Saving the set parameter and exiting the parameter
setting mode. The setting parameters won’t be saved if you directly press the 【POWER】 button to

indicators are green and power indicator is red or green. The below are the meaning of indicators:

【MODE】indicator
Constant on green lighting: printer out of paper
Green light flashing (twice): after green light flashes twice, it constants on lighting, this means

over-voltage.

Green light flashing (once in 500ms): green light constants 500ms, then turn off 500ms, this means

the printing head over-heating.

【FEED】indicator
Green light constant on: printer is in charging
Green indicator turn off: charging is completed

【POWER】indicator
Green light constant on: printer is power on and in normal status
Red light flashing: power of battery is low

the printed side of paper.

Width range: width≥7mm
Height range: 4mm≤height≤6mm
Reflectivity of infrared ray: <10% (infrared ray reflectivity of other parts of the black mark paper

is>65%)

HPS: it is the distance between edges of black mark and loading position.

4.5mm≤Hps≤6.5mm
