The printer is just one of three parts of a printing solution. To print, you need your printer, compatible direct thermal media, and software (driver, applications or programming) to instruct the printer on what to do and what to print.
The media you need may be labels, tags, tickets, receipt paper, fanfold stacks, tamper-proof labels, etc.
The printer setup cannot be completed without media installed. Ideally, your chosen media should be the same media used for its intended operation. Starting with your chosen media will speed printer setup and deployment.
