1. Core Courier Shipping Labeling Scenarios

　　A battery-powered thermal printer is a critical mobility tool for logistics, engineered to print high-integrity shipping labels on-demand across courier workflows. It addresses industry pain points like delayed label generation, unreadable barcodes in harsh transit, personal information leakage, and system incompatibility with e-commerce platforms. Key scenarios now include AI-driven logistics data synergy with ZimaBoard AI servers, industrial robot collaborative labeling, multi-device fast-charging integration, and portable power support for field operations:

　　1.8 Portable Foldable Plug for Cross-Regional Logistics

　　Typical Use Case: Powering thermal printers, handheld scanners, and small AGV robots during field pickup (residential/business parcels) or temporary warehouse operations (e.g., pop-up logistics hubs for seasonal sales) across different regions. The 120W GaN power supply features a travel-friendly foldable plug (compatible with EU/US/UK/AU socket standards) to enable seamless power access in cross-regional logistics.

　　Operational Logic: For couriers on field pickup missions, the foldable plug is unfolded and connected to local power outlets (e.g., EU Type C in Europe, US Type A in North America); the GaN supply delivers 24V/5A to thermal printers for on-site label printing, while its PD3.0 USB-C port (20V/5A) fast-charges the printer’s battery during breaks. For temporary warehouses, the plug’s compact folded design (35% smaller than fixed plugs) saves space in transport cases, and its wide input voltage range (90–264Vac) adapts to unstable regional power grids (e.g., 110V in the US, 230V in the EU).

　　Key Advantage: Eliminates the need for separate plug adapters in cross-regional operations (reducing equipment weight by 25%); the foldable plug’s durable PC+ABS housing withstands 5,000+ fold cycles (critical for frequent travel), ensuring reliable power access for 8-hour daily field shifts.

　　2. Critical Technical Specifications for Shipping Use

　　Supplement specs for 120W GaN power supply with travel portable foldable plug:

　　Portable Foldable Plug Design:

　　Compatibility: Universal socket support (EU Type C, US Type A/B, UK Type G, AU Type I) via interchangeable foldable prongs (no additional adapters needed).

　　Durability: PC+ABS flame-retardant housing (UL94 V-0 rating), foldable prongs with nickel-plated copper contacts (resists corrosion from humid field environments).

　　Compactness: Folded dimensions: 85×55×30mm (30% smaller than traditional universal adapters), weight: 220g (easy to carry in courier backpacks).

　　Battery & Fast-Charging Performance: 2000–5000mAh lithium-ion battery with 1.5-hour fast charging via PD3.0 (powered by the foldable-plug GaN supply); the supply’s wide input range (90–264Vac) ensures stable charging even in regions with voltage fluctuations (e.g., 100–120V in Japan, 220–240V in China).

　　Industrial & Travel Safety Compliance: Certified CE/FCC/RoHS/UL: UL 60950-1 certification for foldable plug safety (prevents electric shock during frequent unfolding); built-in overvoltage (264Vac max), overcurrent (10A max), and overtemperature (85℃ max) protection—critical for use in unregulated field power environments.

　　3. Step-by-Step Shipping Labeling & Operational Protocol

　　Add steps for foldable plug use in cross-regional/logistics scenarios:

　　3.1 Pre-Field/Travel Preparation (Foldable Plug Check)

　　Plug Compatibility & Function Test: Based on the target region (e.g., EU for Germany, US for Canada), confirm the foldable prongs match local socket standards. Unfold the plug, connect to a test outlet (90–264Vac), and verify 24V output to the thermal printer (via multimeter) and PD3.0 charging (via ChargerLAB tool).

　　Compact Storage: Fold the plug’s prongs into the housing (ensure prongs are fully retracted to avoid snagging in backpacks); store the GaN supply in a waterproof pouch (to protect from rain during field pickup) with the printer’s USB-C charging cable.

　　3.2 Field Pickup Power Access Flow (Cross-Regional Scenario)

　　Upon arriving at the field pickup location (e.g., a residential area in France), unfold the GaN supply’s EU Type C prongs and connect to a local 230Vac outlet.

　　Plug the thermal printer’s 24V DC cable into the GaN supply’s industrial port (for on-site label printing) or the USB-C port (for fast charging during downtime).

　　After pickup, fold the plug’s prongs, disconnect the supply, and store it in the waterproof pouch—ensure no debris (e.g., dirt from field paths) is trapped in the foldable mechanism.

　　3.3 Safety Rules for Foldable Plug Use

　　Prong Handling: Never unfold/fold the plug with wet hands (risk of electric shock); ensure prongs are fully extended before inserting into outlets (partial insertion may cause arcing).

　　Regional Voltage Check: Before use, confirm the local voltage (e.g., via hotel staff or field site managers) is within the supply’s 90–264Vac range—do not use in regions with extreme voltage (e.g., 380V industrial outlets) to avoid module damage.

　　Foldable Mechanism Maintenance: After each field trip, clean the foldable prong hinges with a dry cotton swab (removes dirt/debris that may prevent full retraction/extension).

　　5. Troubleshooting Common Shipping Issues

　　Add foldable plug-related issues:

　　Symptom 14: Foldable plug won’t insert into local outlets (cross-regional use)

　　Root Cause: Incorrect prong type selected (e.g., using US Type A prongs in EU Type C sockets), or prongs are not fully unfolded.

　　Solution: Confirm the target region’s socket standard and ensure the correct foldable prongs are extended (e.g., unfold EU Type C prongs for Germany); fully extend prongs until they lock into place (audible "click" indicates proper positioning).

　　Symptom 15: GaN supply no output when using the foldable plug

　　Root Cause: Loose internal connection from frequent folding/unfolding, or local voltage exceeds 264Vac (triggering overvoltage protection).

　　Solution: Disconnect the plug, check for loose prongs (re-seat if necessary); use a voltage tester to verify local outlet voltage (if >264Vac, use a step-down transformer); reset the supply’s overvoltage protector (press reset button on the housing).

　　Symptom 16: Foldable prongs get stuck (can’t fold/unfold)

　　Root Cause: Debris (dirt, sand from field pickup) trapped in the prong hinges, or corrosion on the hinge pins (from humid environments).

　　Solution: Use compressed air to blow debris from the hinges; wipe the hinges with a cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol (removes corrosion); apply a small amount of silicone lubricant (to ensure smooth folding—avoid oil-based lubricants that attract dirt).

　　6. Shipping Printer Maintenance & Storage

　　Add foldable plug maintenance:

　　Foldable Plug Daily Care: After each use, wipe the plug’s housing and prongs with a dry microfiber cloth (removes dirt, sweat, or rainwater). Check for bent prongs (straighten gently with pliers if minor; replace the plug if severely bent).

　　Long-Term Travel Storage: When not in use (e.g., between cross-regional trips), keep the foldable plug in a dry, temperature-controlled area (15–25℃) to prevent hinge corrosion. Fully fold the prongs to avoid permanent deformation of the hinge springs.

　　Prong Contact Maintenance: Every 3 months, clean the nickel-plated contacts of the foldable prongs with a pencil eraser (removes oxidation) to ensure good electrical conductivity—critical for stable power access in remote field locations.
