• Green light always on: USB connected
• Red light always on: cover open / overheated
• Red light flashing quickly: printing canceled, data destroyed

Do I need to use an ink cartridge to print?

No, the PeriPage printer uses thermal printing technology, which can print out the required pattern by heating the print head and contacting it with thermal paper.

What thermal paper specifications are supported for printing?

Applicable to paper with a width of 4 inches (105mm) or less.

Can I connect to a computer for printing?

Sure, please download and install the computer driver from the official website (www.ileadtek.com) first, and then you can proceed with the printing operation.

What should I do if the App cannot connect to the printer?

1. Please make sure that the printer is turned on.
2. Check whether the Bluetooth and location permissions are turned on on the phone (Note: For Android system, due to system requirements, the location service must be turned on at the same time).
3. Please make sure that you connect the device in the APP (Note: This machine only supports pairing through the APP, do not try to connect in the system's Bluetooth settings page).
4. Confirm whether the machine is currently connected to other devices. This device cannot be connected to multiple phones at the same time.
5. You can also choose to connect by scanning the code: double-click the power button of the device to print a QR code, and then scan this QR code in the APP to complete the device connection.

How to solve the problem of unclear printing content?

1. Make sure the printer cover is closed tightly and check whether the printer has sufficient power; because the cover is not closed tightly or the power is insufficient, it may cause blurry printing.
2. Please check whether the print head is dirty and wipe it with alcohol cotton or a slightly damp towel.
3. You can try to set the print density to medium-high density in the print settings and print it out for comparison.

What should I do if there is an offset or misalignment problem when printing?

1. Please check whether the paper size you loaded is consistent with the setting in the App; inconsistent settings will lead to poor printing results / mismatch.
2. After loading the label paper, you can press and hold the "multi-function button" on the top of the machine for 3 seconds to learn the label.
3. Please refer to the PB40 manual to confirm whether the paper roll is correctly fixed by the positioner.

Why is there no content when the thermal paper is printed?

1. Please make sure that the paper cover is tightly closed, and then try to press the power button twice again. If the QR code still does not print, it may be because the paper roll is installed in the wrong direction. Please reinstall the paper roll correctly.
2. If the thermal paper is stored for too long, it may become damp and cannot print properly. It is recommended to replace a new paper roll and try again.

Can I print in color?

Not supported at the moment. Currently, thermal technology only supports printing in blue, red, yellow, pink and other monochrome colors other than grayscale; you need to purchase corresponding thermal paper that can print monochrome.

How to clean the print head correctly

Dirty print heads may cause blurry printing results. To ensure optimal print quality, we recommend cleaning the print head every 80 prints.

The operation steps are as follows:

1. Ensure that the printer is turned off and open the paper compartment cover to remove the paper roll. If a printing task is in progress before shutting down, please wait a few seconds for the printer to cool down properly.
2. Use a clean cotton swab dipped in a small amount of alcohol, or use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the dirt on the surface of the print head. (Do not use hard objects to scratch the print head to avoid permanent damage to the thermistor, as such damage cannot be repaired.)

Charging instructions

1. 5V-2A input charging, it is recommended to use a mobile phone charger for charging.
2. It is recommended to fully charge the device when using it for the first time after purchase.
3. If the lithium battery has not been used for a long time, please charge it every 3 months to avoid prolonged natural wear and tear and inability to charge.
