Getting Started

PC-Batch Software

This label-creation software package is available for IBM® PC or compatibles.

Wall Mount Assembly

This space-saving device allows the printer to be mounted to a wall or other vertical surface using a specially-designed mounting plate.

Time/Date

This feature allows the printer to maintain the current time and date. This is useful when printing labels that require the current time or date to be included within the label format.

External Media Supply Stand

The external media supply option allows the use of large media supply rolls, up to 8-inches in diameter, on 1-3² cores.

External Battery Pack

This option allows the printer to be operated virtually anywhere since its power is not dependent on an AC receptacle. The battery easily attaches to the printer and can last up to 10 hours.
