Quitting parameter setting: Hold downMODEandFEEDbuttons, then loosen MODE button and FEED button. Saving the set parameter and exiting the parameter setting mode. The setting parameters wont be saved if you directly press the POWER button to turn off the printer. 3.2.7 Battery Charging The battery will run out after a period of usage. When it nearly runs out, printer will give a alarm through the battery indicator flashing, at this time, user needs to charge up the battery. The charging method is as following: connecting the adapter to the power socket with 220V, 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, andCHARGEturns to blue when the charging is full. It takes about 3 hours to charge up the battery. Using the printer during the course of charging power will make the charging time go longer. It shows the failure if the charging indicatorCHARGEgoes blue 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 specifiedT9 Setting Toolssoftware through computer. The setting includes: languagefontprinting densitydefault code pagebluetooth device name and password etc. The setting method please refer to the <T9Setting Tools Software Help>, offered with the software together. 3.4 Printer Interface Connection and Printing 3.4.1 USB Connection The SP-RMT9 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 Handheld device, laptop and other information terminal devices with Bluetooth can drive SP-RMT9 to print by the Bluetooth interface. SP-RMT9 portable printer is compatible with Bluetooth2.0 standard. Power class is CLASS 2, effective communication distance is 10meters. The Bluetooth of the printer belongs to the slave device. The initial name of the printer is SP-RMT9 Printer, the initial password is 1234; users can change the printer name and password by using<T9 Setting Tools> software. Please see the details in help file of <T9 Setting Tools>. Before working, SP-RMT9 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 SP-RMT9 BT Printer;
4. Enter the password 1234;
5. Pairing finished. Please see details in primary device Bluetooth function instruction for reference. Notice:
1, When pairing, please make SP-RMT9 BT switch on. 2. Once SP-RMT9 has paired with the host successful, it cant be paired with other Bluetooth device until it unconnected with the host. 3, The power indicator flashing after paired successful. 3.4.3 Function of Bluetooth Address Binding Bluetooth Binding: once the printer remembers the devices address, it only can connect with the first device and cant 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<T9 Setting Tools>
3.5 Indicator and Buzzer There are four indicators, they are red and blueCHARGElight, redERRORlight, blue BATTERYindicator and bluePOWERindicator. The meanings of each indicators are as below:
