Hello,
I just got my Tiny Thermal Receipt Printer and when doing the first print test it just spits out white paper with nothing written on it. I am using the recommanded 5v 2a power supply to power it.
I really don't know why this is not working. Any help would be great! thanks!

Hello, I’m wondering again if anyone has any ideas why this is happening, or how I can get a replacement printer.

Re: Tiny Thermal Receipt Printer printing blank paper
For others that find this in the future you need too do this
“ That's the expected behavior. The button is a paper feed button. To perform the self test, you need to hold the button *while* applying power. Once powered, it just does paper feed.” -some other forum member
This should be in bold and very clear in the documentation.
