How to use

Load a 58 mm thermal paper roll into the printer following the paper-roll compartment instructions, ensuring the paper feeds from the top and the edge aligns with the cutter. Connect the printer to a host device using the Mini-USB Type-B cable or pair via Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. Install the appropriate SDK or driver for Android or Windows and select the correct emulation (ZPL II, CPCL or Brother ESC/P) in your POS or application settings. Use the LCD to confirm power, battery status and connection state before printing.

Recommendations

Use only compatible thermal paper rolls with the specified width (58 mm) and a maximum roll diameter of 4 cm. Avoid exposing the printer to direct water jets despite its IP54 rating, and perform periodic checks on the cutter and paper path. For reliable wireless performance, keep Bluetooth firmware up to date and maintain a clear line of sight to paired devices when possible.
