Before you begin
Important! Ensure that the printer is installed, configured and working on the Windows device.
Important! Margins, character fonts, and page formatting are primarily determined by the point-of-sale (POS) software, particularly when printing from iOS and Android devices. In some cases, the POS software may override manually configured settings. If the following steps are completed and the desired outcome is not achieved when printing from the POS system, please contact your software provider for further support.
