moisture while storing. Only use paper from COMPanion.
•Push the cover open lever, located on the top right hand side to open the printer cover.
•While observing the direction of the roll (see diagram on inside of printer cover), set the
paper roll into the compartment and pull the leading edge of the paper towards you.
•Close the lid by pushing down on both sides and ensure it is firmly latched.
•The error light will blink if the paper nears its end or is installed incorrectly*.
*The error light will blink at different intervals for various errors, please see the printer user’s
manual.
Summary of Installation Steps:
To use the Network Printer with KeepnTrack you will first need to follow several configuration
steps. You will need to go through this process for each of the printers you have purchased.
You will only have to do this once for each printer as your settings will remain unless the
network is changed or the security configuration certificate expires. Each certificate generated
by COMPanion is valid for the next twenty years.
