DP-540 Quick Setup Guide
Use this guide to configure your new DP-540 printer prior to use.
* DP-540 printers may be operated directly from an external
power source without a battery present. If no battery is to be
used, battery charging may be skipped.
** Maximum battery capacity is reached only after completing
three complete charge and discharge cycles. Dascom
recommends completing three cycles before deploying your
printer for best results.
*** With media rolls of less than 4” width we recommend
addition of a second paper guide. See reverse for details.
