Press and hold the reset button and the paper feed button at the same time for 3 seconds, and
a self-test page will be printed, which reflects the basic information of the printer.

4.3 Eliminate cutter jams and paper jams
Method 1: Press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds to reset the cutter, and quickly
remove the stuck cutter (use first)
Method 2: Reset the cutter by turning the cover opening push button or key several times,
and forcefully remove the stuck cutter
Remove jammed paper: remove the jammed knife first, then open the top cover to clear the
jammed paper.
4.4 Cutter test
When testing the cutter, the interval between each cut is more than 3 seconds.
4.5 The working principle and troubleshooting methods of anti
paper jam and anti paper drag
Paper jam and troubleshooting: When the hand or foreign object is blocked in the paper
outlet and printing, the printer will be jammed, the printer will stop printing and report an
error (the red light flashes 7 times, the buzzer sounds 7 intervals); If the foreign matter is
removed from the paper outlet, the printer will continue to print.
Paper-pulling and troubleshooting: When paper-pulling causes paper jam, the printer will
suspend printing and report an error. At this time, you need to open the top cover to remove
the jammed paper.

a. Panel installation: Insert the bottom of the printer into the opening of the device, open the
upper cover of the printer, and fasten the screws on the left and right sides with a
screwdriver, as shown in the figure below. Be careful not to lock the screws too tightly, which
will cause the printer to deform and affect the printer function.
b. Embedded installation: Install and lock the printer (including the fixing bracket) inside the
device

Note: Do not scratch the print head with hard objects (such as tweezers, etc.) when cleaning the
print head; in order to improve the service life of the print head, long-term printing of
self-adhesive paper will have residual glue on the back of the adhesive. It is recommended to clean
the print head every month. Bad, increase cleaning appropriately.
The print head should be cleaned when any of the following conditions occur:
Printing is not clear;
Paper feed noise is loud.

5.2 Set label mode and parameters
a. Set to label printing mode by setting tool (Figure 5.1)
b. Determine the width of the label paper roll, and insert the separator into the slot of the paper slot
(the small card point of the separator is inserted into the side close to the printer); Figure 5.2);
(The outer diameter of the paper roll is not more than 80mm, and the inner diameter of the paper
roll core is 13mm)
c. After power on, close the top cover, press and hold the paper feed button for 5 seconds, and the
printer will automatically enter the high-precision learning mode.
d. Due to the difference in the installation method of the printer (horizontal and vertical) and the
difference in the label gap, the paper may not be cut in the middle of the gap when cutting. )..
(Figure 5.3)
e. Press and hold the feed button and reset button at the same time to print the self-test page, and
scan the QR code of the self-test page with WeChat to learn more detailed parameters of the
printer.
