FA69315–3 English 1 Linx 5900 & 7900 Quick Start Guide
1 Before you start
NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, all the information in this guide applies
to both the 5900 and 7900 printers. The 5900 printer includes a
sub-set of the features of the 7900. For example, some field types
are only available on the 7900—these are noted in this guide.
Other differences in functionality between the printers are noted
in this guide and in the relevant How To guides for the printers.
By now we hope that you have read the safety information at the start of
this guide. Do not begin to use the printer yet though.
This chapter describes how to navigate and use the printer display. If you
take some time now to read these pages, you can save a lot of time later.
