*
FieldPro 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. (A battery compartment cover is available
from PrintekMobile).
**
Maximum battery capacity is reached only after completing three
complete charge and discharge cycles. PrintekMobile 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.
More detailed instructions can be found in the Operator’s Manual, available at www.printekmobile.com

To use the FieldPro for printing
on PrintekMobile standard 3”
paper (3.125” wide), insert the
