NOTICE
Please read this manual carefully before using the printer!
Notice of Safety
Be sure to use the specified battery and power supply provided by our company. Otherwise it
may cause fire, explosion or damage printer, meanwhile, the battery also may be damaged.
Don’t put battery into the fire, don’t disassemble or heat the battery, don’t be short circuit, it may
cause fire, explosion or damage printer, meanwhile, the battery also may be damaged.
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 liquid, if improper operation causes battery leak liquid,
and it paste in the skin or clothes, please rinse it by clean water, if paste in the eyes, please rinse
them thoroughly by clean water and see a doctor.
Please do not open the paper case cover when it is printing or just when printing is finished, do
not touch the printer head with hand or body, overheat may cause scald.
Notice of Using
Water or other liquid should not be spilled 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 printer is 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.
Although the printer can work in temperature between 0℃to 5℃, too high（45℃）or too low
（5℃） environment temperature will have influence on the quality of printing.
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 run out of the power of the battery before charge up it, which can ensure the usage
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 10% and 90%.
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.

50HZ, then plug the power charging plug to the power socket of the printer, so the power
charging begins. During the course of power charging, the charging indicator 【CHARGE】
goes red, and【CHARGE】turns to green when the charging is full. It takes about 4 hours to
charge up the battery. Using the printer during charging, it will take longer time to fully charged.
It means malfunction of charging the battery if the charging indicator 【CHARGE】goes with
two color (green and red) during the course of charging. Such as faulty installation of battery,
faulty contact of battery or internal temperature of battery is too high or too low.
3.3 Printer Parameters Setting
Users can set more parameters by using the specified〈T7 Setting Tools〉software through
computer. The setting includes: language, font, printing density, default code page, Bluetooth
device name and password (only T7-BT) etc. The setting method please refer to the <T7 Setting
Tools Software Help>, offered with the software together.
3.4 Printer Interface Connection and Printing
3.4.1 USB Connection
The T7 printer of standard accessories includes Mini USB cable which connects printer. The
USB type belongs to the slave device type.
3.4.2 Bluetooth Connection
Hand held device, laptop and other information terminal devices with Bluetooth can drive T7 to
print by the Bluetooth interface. T7 portable printer is compatible with Bluetooth 2.0 standard and
7
Bluetooth with two models (IOS 4.0 and Android 4.0 Bluetooth standards). Power class is
CLASS 2, effective communication distance is 10 meters. The Bluetooth of the printer belongs to
the slave device. The initial name of the printer is “T7 BT Printer”, the initial password is ‘1234’.
Users can change the printer name and password by using <T7 Setting Tools> software. Details
can be referred to the file of <T7 Setting Tools> usage specification.
Before working, T7 Portable Thermal Printer need to be pairing with primary device, matching
begins with the host device. Usual matching course is as below:
1. Switch on printer;
2. Host device searches for the outer Bluetooth device;
3. If there are other Bluetooth devices, please select T7 BT Printer;
4. Enter the password ‘1234’;
5. Pairing finished.
Please check details in primary device Bluetooth function instruction for reference.
Notice:
1, When pairing, please make SP-T7BT printer under the state of Power-on.
2. Once T7 has paired with the host successful, it can’t be paired with other Bluetooth device
until it unconnected with the host.
3, The power indicator flashing after paired successful.
3.4.3 Address Binding of Bluetooth
Bluetooth Binding: once the printer remembers the device’s address, it only can connect with the
first device and can’t connect with others. So in this case, if the printer needs to connect with
other devices, user can delete the remembered address or set the mode is not binding.
No binding: in this case, the printer can be searched or paired by other devices.
So when the printer needs to connect with a fixed device, it would be better to bind address.
Please see the details in help file of<T7 Setting Tools>
3.4.4 RF Connection
Information terminal devices with RF can drive T7RF to print by RF .It adopt 2.4Ghz global open
ISM band which is license-exempt. With maximum operating speed of 2Mbps, efficient GFSK
modulation and strong anti-jamming ability it is particularly suitable for industrial control .It can
also satisfy multi-point communications and frequency hopping communication with 126
channels. Same communication frequency, consistent address and compatible communication
protocols are required when using the printer. ( You can consult our technicians for detailed
usage rules )
