Note
When printing with an inkjet printer, please follow the manufacturer's care and maintenance instructions. These can be found in the manufacturer's manual. Inkjet printers must be used regularly to prevent the cartridges from drying out.1 Installation of the printer driver
1.1 Install the supplied printer driver. You can either install it using the driver from the manufacture's page or directly from us viathis.
1.2 During the installation you will be asked if you want to define a new “media layout”. Depending on your print media, you can set up the printer to suit your needs at this point. The following is an example of label paper with the size 54×85 mm and a black mark between the print media.
