Troubleshooting

Camera not turning on

Ensure the camera is fully charged. Check the charging cable and power source. If the issue persists, contact support.

Photos not printing

Verify that the thermal paper roll is correctly loaded and has paper. Check if the paper is upside down. Ensure the printer cover is securely closed.

Print quality is poor (faint or smudged)

Ensure you are using genuine myFirst thermal paper. Clean the printer head gently with a dry cotton swab. Check if the paper roll needs replacement.

Camera not saving photos to microSD card

Make sure the microSD card is properly inserted and formatted (if necessary). Try a different microSD card to rule out card issues.
