Rongta 80mm Mobile POS Direct Thermal Printer with Bluetooth+USB, Compatible with Android Phone, Do Not Square/Ipad/Computer/Android Tablet, Portable Receipt Printer (RPP300)

We use this printer at a small business to print our order slips. The printer has worked exceedingly well so far after about eight weeks of constant use. The customer support from Rongta has been exceptional, and we are pleasantly surprised at how helpful they are.Here are our thoughts about the RPP300 printer:Pros:1. The unit comes with driver software and with an SDK for custom programming. They also provide demo software so you can get up to speed quickly to write your own apps for this printer. The only problem was a minor one. Android Studio would give warnings about the Chinese characters in the demo code comments. It's easy enough to delete the comments containing Chinese characters and the warnings will disappear.2. The printer is small and lightweight. It comes with a convenient belt hook and you hardly even notice that the printer is there hanging from your belt.3. The print speed is very fast, so you can take care of customers quickly.4. The battery seems to last for many days before recharging is required. The battery pack is replaceable, so you can keep a spare battery already charged.5. The customer service is the most responsive we have ever known. We have bought several Epson printers in the past, but Epson's support is not nearly as responsive. We will choose Rongta printers first over Epson now.6. The price of this printer is surprisingly reasonable, and it seems to be an excellent value.7. The printer can charge through the USB connector, so you can connect a power bank to the printer in case someone forgets to charge the printer. (This happened to us already.)8. Our customers are pleased at having a new electronic system. We had been using pre-printed books of order slips, but the Rongta RPP300 has helped us cut costs. Those pre-printed books were expensive, so the Rongta RPP300 helps us save 75% over the price of those books. The savings pay for the printer in just a few months.Cons:1. The only trouble for us is that the maximum paper roll diameter is 40 mm, and the yellow paper we use is not available in small rolls. However, the small roll capacity allows the printer to be a small size so that it does not get in the way when wearing the printer on a belt loop.2. Once in a great while there will be some radio interference in the communication and one or two unintended spurious characters will print. This, however, is an unavoidable problem with wireless communication when interference is present. (We have many motors and industrial machines operating near the printer.)So far we have printed many thousands of order slips, and we are very, very pleased. Kudos to you for your excellent product, Rongta!

It's very disappoinment the support of Brand. This printer work well but you can't charge in the card. The cable that came whit product only can use to transfer data in the computer but no charge whit the usb terminal. I did contact whit support and it was disaster.

I created an app for my delivery route to various grocery stores, printing invoices for the customer.This is great to have as it comes with a little strap to connect to a belt loop on my pants.My app creates PDF files and then I print them using this. So basically anything you can do with a PDF can be printed.It prints sharp and all that is fine.The downside:The app that comes with the printer has a lot of ways to print. I'm only familiar with the PDF so I can only speak on that. Other methods may not have this problem I'm about to discuss.When printing a PDF, what slows me down is having to find the file, open it in the printer app, yada yada...that part is kind of tedious and I hope I can find a way to shortcut this, but haven't yet.But also, when I'm printing I have to stand there and wait for it to finish printing. If I close my phone and put in my pocket, or even if I tilt my phone so it switches from portrait to landscape mode, this will disrupt the printing process and make it stop, so I'll have to start all over again. Kinda frustrating when your on the go and wanting to move quickly.All in all the printer does a fine job and I'm happy with it, you just have to be patient.And again, I want to say, if you're not using the PDF to print but a different mode I'm willing to bet you wouldn't have the issue I'm facing. I just need to see if I can find a way to use another mode. And this printer has MANY options.

I bought this used.The Bluetooth option works good but I was only able to do it with my android.This is exactly what it was advertised to be.One thing I dislike is that the paper rolls go extremely fast.I already have to buy new ones.

The media could not be loaded. Worth every penny. At first I was skeptical. I wasn't sure if this printer will work with Windows 10 or Android phone. And indeed- it will not just out of the box, so I contacted the customer service. They have GREAT chat support on Skype. The guy spent days with me until my Moto X started printing PDF Files.The printer itself is very fast, easy to load paper, long last battery. In fact, I use it for week now and still haven't charged yetThey also have very nice Android app(see my screenshots)

I’m working on a React Native app and need printing. Of course, when it comes to programming all of the libraries you need are no longer maintained and abandoned. Seems like no one has filled this gap yet. Anyways, in the description, they mention having an SDK, but it’s worthless. Nonetheless, after countless hours of hacking away, finding other repos, etc., I found that the printer is ESC/POS compatible, so I built a module in my project to convert incoming requests to ESC/POS, and by golly it worked! I danced. This is my first ever thermal printer but I think I’ve caught some sort of weird printing bug!

Worked well and print quality was pretty good but will not work with Square POS app.

I purchased this printer in June which was 5 months ago..I used it maybe 4xs and put it back in the box. I tried using it yesterday it will not turn on. I charged it the entire day and still will not work. I have another one, that one turns on but won't connect to any device to print. So i basically am out of a printer
