Does the Phomemo M08F use ink?

How do I charge the printer?

How long does a thermal print last?
Thermal prints are generally archival for several years if stored in a cool, dark place, but they can fade if exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Printer is not feeding paper correctly
Ensure the thermal paper is aligned perfectly with the sensor and is not creased or curled at the edges.
Bluetooth connection fails to pair
Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and ensure the Phomemo app has permissions to access your device's local network or Bluetooth settings.
Printed document is too light or blank
Verify that the paper is inserted with the heat-sensitive side facing the print head. If the print is still faint, adjust the print density settings in the app or driver.
