Product Information

I found 'secure' points halfway down, but they turned out to include the handle to open the printer, and by lifting there, the safety catch is operated, so that only the securing tape then holds most of the weight. Apart from this, the printer has a fairly easy to use combination of touch screen and button interface, although it does feel a little odd to have to use a physical back button rather than an onscreen one.
