Congratulations on your M-Class Mark II printer purchase. The M-Class Mark II printer family,
hereafter referred to as ‘the printer’, blends the rugged durability of die-cast construction with
state-of-the-art electronics and user-friendly features to redefine the standard in industrial
thermal printers. Available in direct and
optional thermal transfer
configurations, the printers use unique
front panel designs to simplify
operation, while its USB, RS232 serial,
IEEE 1284 compliant parallel, or
optional wired and wireless LAN
connectivity allows easy interfacing to
any host system.
This manual provides all the information
necessary to operate the printer.
To print labels or tags, simply refer to
the instructions included with the
software you have chosen to create the
labels. A Windows™ printer driver can
be found on our website (http://www.datamaxcorp.com/) or on the included CD-ROM for printing
from common applications. If you wish to write a custom program, a copy of the Class Series
Programmer’s Manual can also be found on the CD-ROM.
