Connecting and setting up a network

To connect the device you will need:

• 5V 1A+ power supply (such as a mobile phone charger)
• USB-C cable to connect power to the device

Connection

1. Connect 5V power to the USB-C connector of the device
2. Connect the printer cable to the USB connector of the device
3. Wait until the green LED on the device lights up and a Wi-Fi network like UoWPrint-XXXX appears
4. Do one of the following:
   • Connect to the Wi-Fi network using the information on the device. Scan the QR code to connect automatically.
   • Connect the device to the router using an Ethernet cable.

Network configuration

Go to http://uowprint.local (does not work on older versions of Android) or http://192.168.55.1 (works everywhere ).

To connect the device to an existing Wi-Fi network (your router), in the “Wi-Fi Setup” form, set the “Wi-Fi operating mode” to “Client”, select the name of your network from the drop-down list and enter the network password.

In the “Current user password “uow”” field, you must enter a 5-digit numeric password, which can be found on the device body (shown in bold).

The device will connect to the network immediately as soon as you click the “Apply Wi-Fi settings” button. The web interface will be available at http://uowprint.local (to access the web interface by IP address, look at the IP address in your router settings).

Switching Wi-Fi mode with the button

To switch between access point and Wi-Fi client modes, in addition to the option in the web interface, you can also press the button on the device body, which is located on the side opposite the cables.

The green LED will flash slowly when switching to access point mode and quickly when switching to client mode.

Printer setup

Adding and configuring a printer is described in separate section.

Scanner Setup

Adding scanners to the system is described on the scanners page.

Most scanners are detected and work immediately, but Brother, Pantum, and Panasonic models require additional steps.
