The Language of Rollo Wireless Printer: LEDs & Their Meaning
The Rollo printer software communicates its statuses through a range of colored LED signals.

The WiFi sign alternates between various colors—blue when connected to WiFi, white during setup, red when not connected, green during updates, and purple when receiving a print job. This visual language becomes second nature over time, making the printer operation smooth and hassle-free.

| 🔴 Red | ‘R’ Light | There’s a problem with the label. |

Maintaining Your Rollo Wireless Printer: Ensure Peak Performance
Maintaining the Rollo wireless printer is as straightforward as using it. A routine cleanup using the alcohol pad provided ensures the printer head stays clean and functions optimally, but the printer should be powered off. It’s important not to touch or scratch: the printer head surface, the roller, or the sensors. The usage of gas, acetone, or other organic solvents is not recommended.
To check if the cleanup has been successful you can print a test label. If a paper jam occurs, there’s no need to panic—just turn off the printer, let the printer head cool down, clean if necessary, and you’re back in business.
If you are having issues, Rollo Support is very helpful and responsive. There is a library with potential issues that you might find helpful too.
