How to use

Open the clamshell housing to load label media and set the adjustable paper guide and holder for the required roll width. Select the correct media type so Smart Media Detection™ can identify gap, black mark, continuous or notch formats. Connect the printer to a host using the USB 2.0 port or an optional network interface, install the appropriate drivers and configure print settings via BIXOLON software or supported programming language. For multi-device deployment, use the USB host Twin Function™ to duplicate settings and data to other printers.

Recommendations

Use direct thermal media appropriate for your application and store rolls in a cool, dry place to preserve print quality. For high-volume or durable label requirements, consider service intervals and using the optional auto cutter or external paper supply to reduce downtime.
