Cloud Printer - Wi-Fi Connection 

How to connect cloud printer with the Wi-Fi?

You need the following tools to connect your printer to wifi

  • Wi-Fi setup tool (download link is in the instruction below)

  • USB wire, usb A to mini usb B wire (supplied with the printer)

  • Windows machine (The Wi-Fi setup tool only works on windows)


Basics

The windows computer and usb cable are only needed for initial setup. Once the Wi-Fi is connected you will not need these anymore.

Basically, we will connect the printer and the computer with usb cable, and this will allow us to input wifi name and password to the printer using Wi-Fi setup tool.

Let’s start

Connect the printer with your computer using usb wire, ensure power adaptor is connected and printer is powered on

Once you reach this screen, follow the following steps

  • Select Wi-Fi on top ribbon

  • Input Wi-Fi name very accurately, upper case, lower case, space number etc

  • Select WPA PSK

  • Input your Wi-Fi password very accurately, upper case, lower case, space number etc

  • Click set


Once you click Set your printer will print a small docket with your Wi-Fi name on it. it means your details are saved in the printer.


Now power off the printer, wait for 10 seconds and power back on. if your Wi-Fi details are correct your print shall connect to the Wi-Fi in following sequence. These 3 steps can take around 2 min to complete.








if you don’t see the Wi-Fi icon, make sure you are in your Wi-Fi range, its good idea to take the printer bit closer to the Wi-Fi router to verify that range is not an issue. if still no luck, next possible issue can be wrong Wi-Fi details. Try again. If it’s still not working, contact Foodship support we are happy to help.
