General Safety Information
Before installing and using the printer, please read the following items carefully.
1. Safety instructions
Don’t touch the tear bar of printer.
The print head is a thermal element and it is at high temperature during printing or just after
operation, therefore please do not touch it and its peripherals for safety reasons.
The thermal head is an ESD-sensitive device. To prevent damage, do not touch either its
printing part or connecting parts.
2. Caution
1) Install the printer on a flat and stable place.
2) Reserve adequate space around the printer so that convenient operation and maintenance can be
performed.
3) Keep the printer away from water source.
4) Do not use or store the printer in a place exposed to heat of fire, moisture, serious pollution and direct
sunlight.
5) Do not place the printer on a place exposed to vibration or impact.
6) No dew condensation is allowed to the printer. In case of such condensation, do not turn on the power
until it has completely evaporated.
7) Connect the DC adapter to an appropriate grounding outlet. Avoid sharing a single electrical with large
power motors and other devices that may cause the fluctuation in voltage.
8) Disconnect the DC adapter when the printer is not used for a long time.
9) Don’t spill water or other materials on the printer. If this happens, turn off the power immediately.
10) Do not allow the printer to start printing when there is no recording paper installed, otherwise the print
head and platen roller will be damaged.
11) To ensure quality print and normal lifetime, use recommended or good quality paper.
12) Shut down the printer when connecting or disconnecting interfaces connectors to avoid damage to the
control board.
13) Set the print darkness to a lower grade as long as the print quality is acceptable. This will help to keep
the print head durable.
14) The printer should only be disassembled or repaired by a technician, who is certified by the
manufacturer.
15) Keep this manual safe and at hand for ready reference.
16) The following content about cutter only applies to printers with cutter.

Caution:
Please use the recommended reference paper type or its equivalents. Using the lower quality
paper types might affect the print quality and shorten print-head life.
If the paper is contaminated by chemical or oil, it may discolor or lose heat sensitivity at the
polluted spot.
Do not rub the paper surface strongly against hard objects, otherwise it may discolor.
When the temperature goes up to 70 degrees centigrade, paper will discolor.
Don’t use or store paper under high temperature, high humidity and strong light conditions.
2.3.2 Mark paper
In mark paper mode, BTP-R880NP determines the cut position and the initial printing position by
referencing the position of the black mark. Black marked paper should meet the following requirement
besides that of standard paper.
3mm≤L1(mark width)≤13mm.
L2(mark length) ≥10mm.
20mm≤L3(distance between two marks) <500mm.
Mark position: left side (only 80mm paper available) or middle of paper.
Reflectivity: The reflectivity of the black mark must be less than 15% while the reflectivity of the
paper itself exceeds 85%. There shall be no printed objects like text and images in the area
between the black marks.

Caution:
The printer will measure the marks during the printing or feeding process. If the lengths of the mark (L1)
is larger than the default value (default: 13mm), the printer will give a paper-end alarm.
