Official SR-R2500P phone apps
Open KING JIM model-specific appsThe exact model selector points to Hello and TEPRA LINK 2 for iOS/Android. This guide documents phone-app routes; it does not supply a Windows installer.
Official apps and current requirements
| Check | What to check |
|---|---|
| Hello | Hello · App Store / Google Play. Apple shows version 1.6.0 with iOS 16 minimum. The manufacturer page specifies Android 11; Google’s description ends Android 10-and-earlier support from 1.4.1. Check the actual device’s store conditions. |
| TEPRA LINK 2 | Official app page / App Store. The manufacturer currently specifies iOS 16/Android 11 minimum. Apple 1.4.0 lists iOS 13, an unresolved difference; the lower number does not establish model operation. Check the official portal for the actual Android distribution route. |
| PC scope | Do not equate a shared TEPRA LINK 2 macOS app with support for this printer. SR-R2500P appears in the mobile Bluetooth matrix, not its macOS model matrix. Other models’ USB, LAN and Wi-Fi options do not establish this model’s interfaces. |
Power, tape and regional scope
| Check | What to check |
|---|---|
| Power | Use six AA alkaline cells or six charged AA Ni-MH cells; select the battery type in the app for Ni-MH. Power off before cells or cartridge work. |
| R TAPE | Check the R mark; P-mark cartridges are incompatible. Tape widths are 4, 6, 9, 12 and 18 mm; maximum print width is a different measurement, 13.5 mm. |
| Region | The Japanese manual marks this model for use only in Japan. Confirm regional use, sales and support conditions; this guide does not establish worldwide suitability. |
Connect from the phone app
- Press Power to turn on, enable phone Bluetooth and select the exact SR-R2500P within Hello or TEPRA LINK 2.
- Slow blue flashing identifies an exclusive iOS connection. Disconnect that device and check for steady blue before connecting another; this is not a factory-reset instruction.
- Compare obstructions, distance and cells. Distinguish approximately 20-minute idle power-off and a two-second Power hold to turn off from a communication error.
Compare the documented test and app printing
- Fit compatible R tape and close the cover. Use tape that permits automatic cutting for this test.
- While powered on, hold Power for at least ten seconds for the documented test print. This is not a reset or network-report procedure.
- If the test succeeds but the app fails, compare this model’s official apps and Bluetooth. If the test also fails, use the real indicators/message and manufacturer support.
Distinguish loading, feeding and cutting
Power off, take up ribbon slack and load the R cartridge label-side up. Check the guide pin, tape path and cover; then use the app’s feed or feed plus cut control. Do not pull tape out by hand.
Feed advances approximately 22 mm, also the minimum label length. Printing may first trim about 12 mm. For no-cut results compare stock, cut settings and, where the app provides it, ribbon continuation settings; for length differences match the actual tape width to the app.
Identify the LED before interpreting it
| Check | What to check |
|---|---|
| Blue off | Power is off |
| Blue on | Power is on |
| Blue slow | Exclusive iOS connection; another device cannot connect |
| Blue flash | Printing |
| Battery off | Battery LED off: normal operation |
| Battery flash | Amber battery LED flashing: cells are low |
| Error off | Error LED off: no error |
| Error flash | Amber error LED flashing: check cartridge and actual app message |
Eight states from the manual’s back. Battery and error LEDs are both amber, so identify the LED and actual app message. No numeric error code is inferred.
