Welcome to the ultimate walkthrough of the GoPrinter’s menu system. In this article, we’ll explore every setting, feature, and customisation option available on the device—without interruptions. Whether you’re a beginner or planning to use the printer in an industrial setting, this guide will ensure you understand how to navigate and optimise your GoPrinter efficiently.
🛠️ Initial Setup: Setting the Time and Date
Setting the correct date and time is essential—especially for time-sensitive printing tasks like labelling, inventory, or production batches.
How to set the date and time:
- Navigate to Settings > Time.
- Input the year (e.g., 2025), month, and day.
- Set the hour, minutes, and optionally, seconds.
- Confirm and exit—the home screen will now display the accurate date and time.
📁 File Manager: Internal and USB Storage
Accessed through Settings > File Manager, this section lets you manage internal memory or connected USB devices.
- User Disk shows available internal storage.
- If a USB is connected, it appears here as an additional directory.
- Files can be copied, deleted, or moved between storage locations.
📦 Sensor Settings for Batch Printing
The GoPrinter supports a sensor attachment for automatic, sequential printing on production lines.
- Enable or disable the sensor under Settings > Sensor.
- Ideal for non-handheld applications, where items pass under the printer automatically.
