TIPS & TRICKS
Giving your printer specific nicknames, examples like Kitchen or Prep Station, makes it easy to organize your layout if you are managing a saved printer list of multiple printers.

NOTE
Once a printer is added to your saved printer list, tap on its printer profile to adjust settings:
Peeler vs. Without Peeler (Citizen CL-S700III): Keep the Peel On setting turned on to use the peeler and print labels one at a time. To print multiple labels without using the peeler, turn this setting off. See Load Labels in the CL-S700III Printer
Default Labels: If there are printer profiles that will only print on a specific printer, use the + next to Default Labels to add them to that printer.
