Hardware - Setup Guide to Cloud Printing

Article Contents:

This article contains a step-by-step guide on how to setup your cloud printer.

Follow the step-by-step guide below to set up your Ethernet printer and configure the Auto-print functionality. Please note that you will need a compatible Star Micronics printer with the Ethernet module as Auto-print does not work via Bluetooth connection. 

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Make sure that the printer is turned OFF. Then, plug the power cord of the printer into a power outlet and an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port located on the back of the printer.

Step 2: While turning the printer ON, simultaneously hold down the FEED button on the front of the printer for five seconds. The printer will print two “receipts,” and you’ll see an IP address at the bottom of the second receipt. 

Step 3: Open a web browser and type the IP address from the receipt into the URL field.

Google Chrome or Firefox works best! 

You’ll be redirected to the Star Intelligent Network Utility page. Click on LOGIN under SYSTEM ACCESS.

Step 4: Login using the credentials below.

The username and password will never change.

Username: root
Password: public

Step 5: Now, navigate to the POS and select Settings, Register Settings, and then the Printer tab. Click Add Printer, enter information in pop-up window, then select Save.

Step 6: Then, copy the URL from the top by clicking the Copy URL button.

Step 7: Go back to the Star Intelligent Network Utility page and click on CloudPRNT located in the left-hand column.




Step 8: Enable CloudPRNT Service, enter the POS URL you copied in the Server URL field, and set Polling time (optional, default is 5 sec), then hit Submit.

Step 9: Save and Restart the device.
