4 Printing

Now that the printer is configured, printing can be done by selecting print from your application
and then pressing the “OK” button. The item you are printing will be scaled from the current
“Paper Size” and “Orientation” to the printer’s paper size depending on the value of “Scale print
job to fit paper”. If this is checked the full page will be scaled to fit. If it is unchecked the actual
paper size will be given to the application and it will decide on how to print. Section A at the
end of this document has some sample outputs showing the different orientations based on
different Scaling and Portrait/Landscape settings.

*Note: The “Margins” will apply to the printer paper. So if left and right margins of 1.25” are
used on a 4 inch printer, with “Scale print job to fit paper” unchecked, then only the middle 1.5”
will be printed on. Having top and bottom margins will also add leading and trailing whitespace
between pages.

4.1 RS232/Bluetooth

Printing via these serial methods is done by selecting the appropriate Com Port. For Bluetooth
printing, depending on your particular device, the printer might need to be mapped/associated to
the Com port you selected.

4.2 Wireless

To print wirelessly select the “Network” port. When this is done the “Net Path” edit box will be
enabled and you can type in the IP of the printer you wish to print to.
