1-3. Application area
Compared to the traditional thermal receipt printer, Mini printer has smaller body, more reliable
capability, more steady printing and portable advantages. The Mini printer can work on a lot of
locations, such as the TAXI bill printing, administrative fees receipt printing, post receipt printing,
restaurant ordering information printing, online payment information printing, etc. With the rapid
popularity of smart-mobile, Mini printer will be more widely used in the near future.

2. Communication Interface
2-1. RS-232 Serial Interface
RS-232 is developed according to the EIA standard asynchronous transmission, the specifications
are as following:
Ø
Data transmission: serial interface
Ø
Synchronization: asynchronous
ØSignal Level: RS-232 level, logic 1:-5.4v, logic 0 : +5.4v
ØHardware Flow Control: None
ØBaud rate: 2400pbs to 115200pbs is optional
Ø
Data word length: 8 bits
Ø
Stop bit: 1bit
ØParity: None
Users can get the current baud rate from the printer self-testing page.
Serial cable: We have made the cable specially using mini port like Mini USB port which connects
the printer .The following picture shows the signal definition of the RS-232 Serial interface:
The connection between the printer and host follows the following rules:
Printer
Host
TXD
RXD
RXD
TXD
GND
GND
However, the printer usually works only on receiving data, it doesn’t have to respond anything
back to the host , then TXD signal can be ignored , and then the connection can be sampled as
following:

2-2. Bluetooth Connection
Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances
(using short-wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400–2480 MHz) from fixed and
mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs) with high levels of security.
2-2-1. Bluetooth specification
Using blueCore4-Ext chipset, fully compatible with Bluetooth 2.0;
High-sensitivity receive signal, small size, lower consumption
Supporting 1200bps ~ 1382400bps variety of baud rate;
Supporting SPP agreement, the maximum transfer speed is up to 3Mbit / s;
2-2-2. Use “AT” command to modify Bluetooth Module’s parameters
Notice: The following changes can’t be done by user, these should be done in factory by Manufacturer. So
if user wants to change these parameters, please inform our sales person before ordering our printers.
Modify name---Send character string “AT+NAMEXXXX, feedback “Okname”;
For example, if you want change name to “LY58”, please send string “AT+NAMELY58”.
Modify PIN code--- Send character string “AT+PINXXXX, feedback “Oksetpin”;
For example, if you want change PIN code to “8888”, please send string”AT+PIN8888”.
(Note: Default PIN code is “1234”, you only can reset PIN code with four figures.)
Clear Bluetooth address--- Send character string “AT+CLR00”, feedback “Okclear”;
Modify baud rate--- Send character string “AT+BAUDX, feedback “Ok+current baud rate”;
X represents the baud rate code, as following:
1-----1200 7------57600
2-----2400 8------115200
3-----4800 9------230400
4-----9600 A------460800
5-----19200 B------921600
6------38400 C------1382400

5. Operating Precautions
This section presents important information intended to ensure safety and effective use of the
printer. Please read carefully.
5-1. 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 the corrosive liquid out, if improper operation causes battery leak, and the liquid
is spattered on the skin or clothes, please wash it with water immediately, if spattered in the eyes,
please rinse them with water thoroughly and see a doctor.
Please don’t open the paper room 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.
5-2. 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.
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 Bluetooth mode, the distance should be within the
range of 10 meters, otherwise the printer doesn’t print or prints rubbish codes.
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.
Be sure to use up the electricity of the battery before charging it, as it can ensure the using life of
the battery.
5-3. Notes on handling
The printer should be stored in such an temperature environment between -10℃and 60℃,and the
relative humidity is between 5％and 95％.
If the printer will be stored for a long time, please take the battery out, otherwise may damage the
battery and printer. <Note> The lithium battery have a character that if it is not used for several
months, it possibly can’t be charged ever.
