1. Introduction

This Wi-Fi printer is an optional accessory of a series of LAUNCH’s diagnostic devices.

The built-in Wi-Fi module enables you to easily print the real time test results without connecting any USB cable.

Compared to conventional printers, it is smaller and easier to carry. Meanwhile, being free of paper spindle, it is also simple and fast to load printing paper. In addition to the included DC power adaptor, it can be powered alternatively by the built-in rechargeable battery, which enables you to use it anytime and anywhere.

Furthermore, this printer has auto-hibernate and auto power-off features. While it does not perform printing operation, it will enter auto sleeping mode to save power. If no activities are made within 30 minutes, it will power off automatically. To start printing, users need to power it on again.
