Hello,
I just received the Mini Thermal Receipt Printer Starter Pack and noticed there is a problem with the wiring. The red/black wire that the product came with does not fit into the 2.1mm jack. When I removed the plastic encasing and tried to plug the wires into the 2.1mm jack it just flashes on and off and doesn't create a solid connection.
What can I do?

Re: Thermal printer wire problem
I've read on the forum it might be the power supply, why wouldn't the supplied power supply work with this product?

I can't get an image of your setup in my mind. Could you post photos of the connector, the wires, and the way you have things hooked up please?

Re: Thermal printer wire problem
I may have been to noob with understanding the initial setup. I stripped the wire and it is working now. Thanks
