F.A.Q.
Q. Why can’t I find the printer in the drop down when attempting to print labels from CMA?
A. Most likely the workstation the club is trying to print from isn’t connected to the label printer. Make sure Local IT has installed the printer.
Q. I see an error about paper size when attempting to print labels from CMA?
A. If the club chooses a different size from the dk1209 or dk1201 then they will need to select the correct size and orientation in order to match in the printer’s preferences.
Q. Can I install the label printer on the server?
A. Yes it needs to be networked with its own IP address and share name. This will allow any networked workstation to find the printer and print labels to it.
