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.
Don’t put the battery into the fire or water, don’t disassemble or modify the
battery, don’t be short circuit, otherwise may result in injury or fire even
explosion.
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, if
improper operation causes battery leak, and the liquid is spattered on the
skin or clothes, please wash it with water, if spattered in the eyes, please
rinse them with water thoroughly and see a doctor.
Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing or just when
printing is over, do not touch the print head with hand or body, overheat
may cause scald.
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.
Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing, otherwise the
printer may work improperly.
If print with serial interface, should not unplug the interface cable in the
course of printing, or else some printing data may be lost.
When print in Ir or IrDA mode, be sure the Ir window of the host
equipment face rightly the Ir window of the printer, the distance should be
within the range of 50mm, and the angle should be within the range of 30o.
When print with Bluetooth interface, the communication distance should
be within 10 meters, otherwise the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish
codes.

４
Too high（45℃）or too low（5℃） temperature and too high (85％)or too
low (20％) relative humidity both effect the print quality.
The print paper in poor quality or stored for too long time also 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.
Notes on Handling
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, pleas be sure to take out the
battery, otherwise may damage the battery and printer.
Normal thermal paper 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 print paper should be keep away from high temperature environment
and point-blank sunshine.

3.2 Operation Specifications
3.2.1 Printer On
The printer is powered on by pressing the power button; the power
indicator is on with green color whenever the printer is on.
Notice: when the batter is almost exhausted, the power indicator blinks
with red color, in this case, you must charge the battery by using the
adaptor. The method of charging the battery, please refer to 3.2.5.
3.2.2 Printer Off
The printer is off after hold down the power button. All the indicators are
off whenever the printer is off.
3.2.3 Self-test
The self-test checks the printer’s current settings, status and whether the
printer has any problems. Turn on the power while holding down the
FEED button, the self-test begins.
The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self-test.
3.2.4 Paper Feeding
When the printer works normally, hold down【FEED】button, the paper
feeding begins, and stops when hold down
【FEED】
button again. 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 Battery Charging
The power indicator becomes red when the power of the battery is run out,
so charging the battery is required in this situation.
The charging method is as following: turn off the printer, connect the
adapter to the power socket with 220V, 50HZ, then plug the power
charging cable to the power socket of the printer, so the power charging
begins, during the course of power charging, the 【FEED】indicator goes
green, and becomes dark when the charging is over.
Notice: it would better not turn on the printer during the course of charging
power, lest the charging time goes longer, moreover, be sure not to use the
printer to print when the battery is charging.
when the battery is low, the power indicator blinks with red color and the
buzzer rings 3 times; if the printer is in sleeping mode, the printer will cut

９
off power after the buzzer rings 3 times. In this case, you must charge the
battery by using the adaptor.
Charging battery method:
The TⅢuses a Lithium rechargeable battery pack. Before first use, the
battery pack should be charged for at least 4 hours. To prevent electrical
damage to the printer and/or battery pack, please use approved AC/DC
adapter only. During charging, the
【FEED】
indicator is green, and when the
battery is charged fully, the【FEED】indicator is turned off automatically.
3.3 Printer Setting
Users can set the printer by using the 〈TⅢSetting Tools 〉software
provided by us. The settings include: serial baud rate, RAW-IR baud rate,
Bluetooth device name and password etc. Regard to the setting method
please refer to the〈TⅢSetting Tools〉
3.4 Printer Interface Connection and Printing
3.4.1 RS-232 Serial Interface
The standard accessories for T Ⅲprinter include: DB-9 serial interface
cable (one end is D model standard serial interface socket, connected to
host computer, the other end is PS/2 socket, connected to printer).
When connect the serial interface, if it works normally, then the printer
stops to received data from Bluetooth, Ir interface or IrCOMM interface.
The serial interface of the printer is RS-232, the baud rate range is:1200bps,
2400bps, 4800bps, 9600bps, 19200bps, 57600bps, 115200bps. The baud
rate selection please see 3.3 printer settings.
3.4.2 RAW-Ir and IrDA Connection
The hardware of TⅢwith infrared port printer is compatible with IrDA1.1.
IrCOMM protocol is one of the sub-protocol of IrDA and widely used in
portable devices. RAW-Ir data transmission mode can be connected to the
devices with raw infrared port for printing, while IrCOMM mode can be
connected to the devices with IrCOMM protocol for printing.
RAW-Ir can work under 9600bps, 19200bps, 38400bps, 57600bps,
115200bps, the baud rate of RAW-Ir is same to that of serial interface.
Notice:
1) To use the TⅢ’s infrared port, a computer or Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA) with IR port is required.
2) Position a PDA conforming to the specifications in point not more than

１０
50 centimeter away from the printer’s infrared port. Make sure the two
ports are in front of each other with an angle of not more than 30° on the
four side.
3.4.3 Bluetooth Connection
PDA, Laptop and other communication devices with Bluetooth can drive T
Ⅲ-BT to print by the Bluetooth interface. T Ⅲ-BT is compatible with
Bluetooth 2.0 protocol. Power grade is CLASS 2; effective communication
distance is 10 meters. The name of the printer is SPRT T Ⅲ, the initial
password is “1234”; users can change the printer name and password by
using〈TⅢSetting Tools〉.
The method for the pairing between TⅢ-BT with the host device is:
1. Turn on the printer;
2. Host device searches for the outer Bluetooth device;
3. If there are other Bluetooth devices, please select SPRT TⅢprinter;
4. Put in password “1234”
5. Pairing finished.
Notice: If the printer name has been changed, please be sure not turn on
more than one printer, otherwise it will be difficult to justify which printer
been paired.
3.5 Indicators and Buzzer
There are three indicators for TⅢprinter, they are【MODE】,【FEED】
and 【POWER 】indicator, the anterior two indicators are green, power
indicator has two colors: red and green. The following is the meaning of
each indicator denotes:
【MODE】indicator:
Solid GREEN: printer is in setting status
Green LED blinking （one time）: printer out of paper
Green LED blinking （twice）: high temperature error
【FEED】indicator:
Solid GREEN:battery charging
Green LED off: battery at full charge
【POWER】indicator:
Solid GREEN:power on
Solid RED: low battery
The TⅢuses a buzzer to indicate various status of the printer. The
