Printer Operation

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Printek FieldPro RT43 Series mobile thermal printer. Each printer is shipped with
a battery, a carrying strap, a Quick Start Guide, and one roll of receipt paper
The FieldPro series offers a variety of configurations to suit any printing environment. The RT43 prints on
receipt paper supplied in roll form up to 4.125 inches wide and includes "black mark" sensing capabilities on
the printed side of the media. All models are equipped with a "Universal Port" which supports cabled, serial
communications using an optional RS-232C or USB cable. All models also support an optional internal
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interface. Complete specifications may be found in Appendix J on page 69.
The remainder of this chapter focuses on preparing the printer for initial use and tasks that will be encountered
during everyday use. The following chapter, "Maintenance and Troubleshooting", describes how to maintain
the printer for optimal performance and has information on how to diagnose any problems that may occur.
For systems integrators and administrators, appendices contain detailed instructions on how to configure
printing characteristics and communications with host systems.
