Usage recommendations

Use recommended thermal paper of correct width and thickness to ensure optimal print quality and to minimize paper jams. For network deployments, assign a fixed IP or configure DHCP reservations to maintain stable connectivity. Schedule periodic checks for paper roll status and clean the print head as advised by maintenance guidelines to extend service life and maintain consistent print legibility.
