The miniature printer works by running across any paper, until it finishes printing on a page. If the work to the printed is more than one page, the user puts the printer on top of the next paper. The printer which can be connected to smart phones as well as computers can print on  any size of paper. It runs on a lithium ion rechargeable battery. The paper size it would be printing on could be programmed and it knows exactly the margin to stop.

Both the USB connection for charging the printer and the activation button is located beneath the device. Also located under the device are special wheels with which the printer runs around on top of the paper. Meanwhile the inkjet is apparently located under the printer. The battery lasts for one hour per charge when it is not connected to an outlet and each ink can print up to a thousand pages.

The printer measures only 10cm by 11.5cm and weighs 300g and connects wirelessly
