The Nutritics Print Driver has been designed to work in conjunction with Nutritics and the Nutritics Label Magic solution. The application is designed to sit silently on your android device and handle all of your printing needs.
The print application allows you to operate a fully mobile, end to end print solution, all the way from Nutritics, through Label Magic and finally printing from your Nutritics approved mobile printer. Once installed and configured, the application will inherit any settings needed from the Nutritics system to facilitate the print job.
