🛠️ Initial Setup: Setting the Time and Date

Setting the correct date and time is essential—especially for time-sensitive printing tasks like labelling, inventory, or production batches.

How to set the date and time:

• Navigate to Settings > Time.

• Input the year (e.g., 2025), month, and day.

• Set the hour, minutes, and optionally, seconds.

• Confirm and exit—the home screen will now display the accurate date and time.

📁 File Manager: Internal and USB Storage

Accessed through Settings > File Manager, this section lets you manage internal memory or connected USB devices.

• User Disk shows available internal storage.

• If a USB is connected, it appears here as an additional directory.

• Files can be copied, deleted, or moved between storage locations.

📦 Sensor Settings for Batch Printing

The GoPrinter supports a sensor attachment for automatic, sequential printing on production lines.

• Enable or disable the sensor under Settings > Sensor.

• Ideal for non-handheld applications, where items pass under the printer automatically.

🧾 Information Tab

✍️ Creating and Editing Print Files

Switching to the Edit menu allows full customisation of what the printer outputs.

Basic Editing:

• Open or create new print files.

• Use zoom tools to view designs.

• Move, rotate, or resize text.

• Ensure content fits within the printable white rectangle.

Add Text and Symbols:

• Example: Type "Hi 😊" using text and symbol tools.

Auto Date Formatting:

• Insert a dynamic date field.

• Choose preferred formats (e.g., day/month/year).

• Add expiration periods like "+1 year" or "+10 days."

🖼️ Advanced Elements for Printing

Under More, users can add:

• Images (black-and-white, USB-imported)

• Packaging Symbols (fragile, this side up, etc.)

All external files must be imported via USB for use.
