Operating the Printer
Once the printer has been setup, there is very little that you need to do during daily operation because most functions are controlled by the host system. This chapter describes the following few tasks that you will need to perform, some more often than others:
•Operating the keypad
•Cleaning the printer
•Cleaning the thermal printhead
For instructions on changing the paper, see “Loading and Removing Paper”.
