What You Need To Know Before You Start
Below is a step-by-step guide to help you set-up the printer on-site, and then
manually calibrate the device, a process which will prepare the printer to print your
specific event badges.
What do you need before you begin the process?
•A wireless router with multiple Local Area Network (LAN) ports, one port for
each of your printers
•A connection from the router to the internet. Usually the Wireless Area
Network (WAN) port. Consult you router’s instruction to determine how to
connect to the network, or ask your onsite audio visual representative for
assistance.
How to Set up Your Printer
1. Plug in your printer and flip the switch on the back left hand corner to ON.
2. Plug in the ethernet cable into the printer and connect the other end to the
router.
3. Click on the HOME button (looks like a house) and use the arrows to toggle
to NETWORK, click the chckermark button. ACTIVE PRINTER SERVER should
appear, settings need to read “Wired“.
4. Toggle right in Network settings to PRIMRY NETWORK –setting should be
set as “Wired“.
5. Open your printer by placing two fingers on the yellow notches on either
side of the printer. Press the notches until the hood disengages with the
base (you’ll hear a ‘pop‘ sound).
6. Place your badge stock behind the printer and slide
the badge roll through the slight opening in the rear
of the printer. Make sure that the badge static
artwork is facing upward and the stock fits between
the two yellow spacers in the center of the printer.
The stock should be aligned and snug; use the yellow
roller in the middle of the printer base to adjust
spacer width.
7. Pull the badge stock past the spacer and through the
front opening.
8. Close the printer so that exess badge stock is clearly
vissible, as shown. When closed, the light button on
the front will turn green.

you can:
a. Modify Media Type (Gap/Notch, Mark, Continuous)
b. Switch Print Mode (Tear Off, Cutter, Etc.)
c. Adjust Darkness
10.Return HOME and toggle to the “Tools“ Setting. Scroll to Manual Calibration
and press “START“.

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR PRINTERS
Q: My printer won’t calibrate: I am recieving an error that says Load
Backing Printer Paused.
A: Press the Pause button on the right side of the printer to resume.
Q: My printer won’t calibrate: I am recieving an error that reads Reload All
Continue.
A: Open the device using the two yellow notches on either side of the printer.
Make sure that the badge stock is properly aligned and snug against the yellow
spacers. Pull the badge stock through the printer’s fron opening until the badge is
clearly visibile. Close the hood of the printer and press Pase to resume.
Q: My printer is starting to calibrate, but then it stops after one or two
badges and doesn’t finnish the calibration.
A: Make sure your badge stock is inserted in the correct direction. If your badges
have a timing mark (black marks on the back of the badge), ensure that the timing
mark is at the leading edge of the badge. Gap notch badges should have the gap
notch also leading the badge.
Q: One badge prints and then there’s a printer jam and the red light
flashes.
A: The printer settings probably do not match the actual badge stock you are
using. You can control this in the printer’s settings. If you have a gap/notch
badge stock, make sure it’s on gap/notch setting and similarly timing mark badges
should be on timing mark setting.

Please Note: The included iPads have already been set up for you.
1. Connect your iPad to your router’s wireless network. The name and
