Congratulations on your purchase of a new J693 printer. The J693, hereafter

construction with other innovative design features to redefine the standard in
industrial thermal printers.
The printer incorporates highly specialized
electronics, including a powerful
32-bit processor and up to 8
megabytes of on-board
memory. Control and program
changes can be made smoothly,
with most functions accessible

The user-friendly printing
concept is taken a step further

design, easily added application
upgrades, and modularly installed
options.
This manual provides all the information necessary to operate the printer on a
daily basis. To print labels or tags simply refer to the instructions included with
