Design The Badge
For this example, we will be using an A6 thermal paper, where the size of the paper is 4x6, so we're selecting that template size for the badge design. It should work on single and double-sided templates.
Configure the Printer
Settings
Darkness: choose a darker setting (e.g., 19.0) so the text printout is legible.
Print Speed: choose a lower speed setting (e.g., 2.0) so the printout is clear.
Media Type: Auto Detect
Network
In this example, we're using a wired network. The printer and the iPad should be connected to the same network/router. If you're using a printer that has wifi, you can choose that option for the active printer server and primary network.
Active Print Server: Wired
Primary Network: Wired
Wired IP Address: a default IP will show - take note of this. You will need it for your iPad settings (e.g., 192.168.000.033)
IP Port: 6101 or 9100
Configure the Admin App
