Sipix A6 Printer

i just bought a Sipix A6 Printer and i wanted to know how to change the ink

02-12-04, 10:22 PM

There is no ink-- it's a thermal printer.

jasonc951 · 02-12-04, 10:34 PM

so i will never have to change it

No, but good luck with the drivers and finding paper for it (I just got one too and it can be frustrating w/ ppc2003)

I hate having to bid on something I'll need often.

Anyway, try fieldsoft.com's PrintPocketCE. It costs about twice as much as the printer, but at least you should be able to print with the sipix.

is there any free driver that wiil work on ppc2003 for the Sipix A6 Printer

02-13-04, 07:24 PM

None that I know of. Hopefully someone else will have a solution.

POINSOT, what software are you using with the X5 and WM2003? I haven't purchased the retail version of PrintPocketCE and would rather not if I didn't have to.

Thanks.

2. Backup and Sync!

3. Do a Hard reset

4. Install drivers in Built in storage

5. Soft Reset.

6. Turn on your printer and test the Axim no mo far than 1 inch.
This will works.

7. Install your programs from Active Sync

ebony,

Follow the instructions above. Also, after installing the sipix drivers, you need to take out ALL the removable media (in your case the SD card), soft reset, get the printer working, and THEN reinsert the SD card. The printers DO work. However, that PrintCE is the quicker, more expensive fix.
