How to connect your iPad to your printer
We recommend using a Brother QL-820NWB printer with our VMS app
- Firstly, please ensure you have the latest Space Connect VMS app and you have successfully logged in.
- You must also ensure you have enabled badge printing, you can see how to do this here.
Once the above is all set and ready to go you need to connect your printer to your iPad.
- Check your printer is connected to your wifi network. Your printer and iPad will need to be on the same Wi-Fi network in order to find each other. If your printer is not yet connected to your Wi-Fi. Turn the printer on, and follow the on-screen prompts to set the language, time and date.
- Press the [Menu] button and the [▼] button to select the [WLAN] menu, and then press the [OK] button.
- Press the [▼] button to select WLAN On/Off, and press the [OK] button.
- Use the [▲] and [▼] buttons to select [On] and press the [OK] button to enable
- Once enabled, press the [↩] button and within the [WLAN] menu select WLAN > Infra Manual Setting and press the [OK] button.
- The printer should then search for available Wi-Fi networks. Use the [▲] and [▼] buttons, select your preferred Wi-Fi network and then press the [OK] button.
- Enter your password using the [▲] and [▼] buttons to select the correct characters.
- The screen should then display 'Connected!' to confirm this was successful. Press the [↩] button to make your way back to the main screen and confirm the Wi-Fi symbol shows solid in the top right corner of the screen.
