Physical Printer Settings (for Clients)

Using a Supply'd printer with the OpenLabel app ensures a reliable connection by locking in a Static IP, preventing the printer from losing its network link after router restarts.

This document is intended for clients who are using a printer provided by Supply’d in conjunction with the OpenLabel app. It provides step-by-step instructions and guidance to help clients successfully set up, connect, and manage their physical printers within the app. The content is specifically relevant to users who are working with Supply’d printers, ensuring they can quickly get their devices operational and begin printing labels efficiently.

Network Configuration

⚠️ Important: This printer supports 2.4 GHz WiFi networks only.

1. Enter Password: Type your WiFi network password into the Password field.

2. Assign Dynamic IP: Tap the blue [Set Dynamic IP] button. This allows the router to temporarily assign an address to the printer.

3. Convert to Static IP: Once an IP address appears (replacing 0.0.0.0), tap the blue Set to Static IP button. This ensures the printer maintains the same address consistently.

4. Finalise: The status next to the IP address should now read "Static IP". Note down this IP address for your records or further software configuration.
