TIPS & TRICKS
Giving your printer specific nicknames, examples like Kitchen or Prep Station, makes it easy to organize your layout if you are managing a saved printer list of multiple printers.
9. The printer will be added to the saved printer list.
10. Select the Label Type that’s loaded into the printer from the dropdown.
NOTE
If you see Error 300x3, the label type selected in printer setup does not match the label type selected in your printer profile. Select the matching label type from this dropdown to fix it. See (Error 300x3) Mismatched Printer Profile and Label Type
11. Tap PRINT TEST LABEL to try printing a label.
NOTE
Once a printer is added to your saved printer list, tap on its printer profile to adjust settings:
Peeler vs. Without Peeler (CL-S700III printer): Keep the Peel On setting turned on to use the peeler and print labels one at a time. To print multiple labels without using the peeler, turn this setting off. See Load Labels in the CL-S700III Printer
Default Labels: If there are printer profiles that will only print on a specific printer, use the + next to Default Labels to add them to that printer.
