How to use

Install the printer on a stable surface near the POS terminal or kiosk and connect it to the host system using the appropriate interface: USB for direct single-station connections, Ethernet for networked setups or serial for legacy systems. Load liner-free thermal media following the top-loading procedure, ensuring media is aligned correctly for the cutter and sensor operation. Configure the printer driver and communication settings on the host device according to the selected interface and test print to confirm proper feed, cutting and print alignment. Regularly check media roll alignment and replace media before the end of the roll to avoid jams.

Usage recommendations

Use manufacturer-recommended liner-free thermal media to ensure reliable print quality and cutter performance. Keep the print head and paper path free of adhesive residue by performing periodic cleaning with appropriate thermal printer cleaning materials. For networked installations, assign a fixed IP address or reserve an address via DHCP to maintain stable connectivity. Where continuous high-volume printing is required, maintain spare media rolls and plan routine maintenance intervals to minimise downtime.
