Tips
The menus are cyclical and will return to the top of the list after the last item in each menu level.
The on-board menu is for convenience. Use the PrintekMobile Setup Utility when possible.
For more information on menus see the operator’s manual.
To use the FieldPro for printing
on PrintekMobile standard 3”
paper (3.125” wide), insert the
second paper guide in slot 7.
This will left align the roll.
In Options menu, set the “Rt.
Paper Guide” setting to 7.
This will insure test pages print
and margins are measured
correctly.
For paper rolls less than 4”
wide that are not standard
PrintekMobile rolls, consult
operators manual for more
instructions on proper
installation and configuration.
