Section 3: Primera PrintHub

Primera PrintHub is used to interact with the printer for gathering ink levels, maintenance, alignment, cost calculation and several other functions. You can use it to manage these functions on multiple LX610 print- ers and other Primera label printer models. PrintHub automatically installs with your printer driver and can be accessed through the printer driver preferences or as a program on your Windows start menu.
