The E-Class Mark III printer (hereafter referred to as “the printer”) is user-friendly thermal printing device 
that blends quality and durability in an affordable package to meet all of your labeling needs. This manual 
provides the information necessary to operate and maintain the printer. 
 
To begin printing labels or tags, refer to the instructions included with your software labeling program. For 
your convenience, a Windows
 
 printer driver can be found on the Accessories CD-ROM, or it can be 
downloaded from our website at http://www.datamax-oneil.com. (If you wish to write custom programs or 
label formats, a copy of the Class Series 2 Programmer’s Manual also is included for your reference, or the 
manual can be downloaded.)
