Argox OS-214 plus A Letter to Our Customers

A Letter to Our Customers

Dear Customers,

Congratulation on selecting an Argox OS series printer!

We believe soon you will find that you have made a

cleverest choice!

This booklet is a small gift from us. It is intended for

helping you to know your printer better, then further to

optimize it. Basically, this booklet contains two parts:

operation guidance and related valuable information.

In the part of the operation guidance, we will furnish you

with a lot of complementary illustrations, so you may pick

up those operation guides more quickly.

In the latter chapters of Trouble Shooting, Maintenance as

well as Reference Technical information, which we think,

you may need them just in case. Therefore, for your quick

reference, we try to table them as much as possible.

Enjoy your reading and have a good time with your printer!

Best wishes,

Argox Information Co., Ltd.
