Configuring the Label Maker as a Wireless Printer

You can use your label maker either as a local printer connected to a powered USB port on your computer or as a networked printer on your wireless network.

You must have a network with a wireless router or access point to use your label maker as a wireless network printer.

Before configuring the label maker, you must determine the connection method to use to connect to your wireless network.  Refer to the documentation that came with your router or access point to determine the connection methods supported.

Standard -Use this method if you want the Wireless Setup tool to automatically detect your network. Your network will be detected automatically and you will be prompted to enter your security information.

Advanced - Use this method if you want to enter all network information manually. The Wireless Setup tool will not automatically detect your network. Use this method only if you are very familiar with your wireless network, or if the other methods are unsuccessful.

Note: You cannot use the label maker as a wireless network printer while the label maker is connected to a USB port on your computer.

To configure the printer on your wireless network:

  1. From within the built-in software, click . The Wireless Setup tool starts.
  2. Follow the steps in the Wireless Setup tool.  The wireless status light located on the top of the label maker turns solid blue when the label maker is successfully connected to a wireless network (See Diagram below)
  3. After configuring the label maker as a wireless printer, disconnect the USB cable from your computer.
  4. Place the printer in an easily accessed location.
  5. Plug the USB cable into the wall adapter and then plug the wall adapter into a wall outlet.
  6. If necessary, press the power button to turn the printer on.
