Star WIRELESS Printer Setup - Android Devices

First, turn on the Main Unit Power. Connect the power cable to the inlet on the back of the TSP100iii W. Connect the plug of the power cable into the outlet.

On the left-hand side of the device, flip the switch on and check that the blue LED light is lit up.

Next, you should insert a roll of paper. Check that the power is on. Push the lever on the top to open the cover.

Note

When using a paper roll with a 58mm width, install the supplied paper guide inside the printer.

The way you insert paper is important. Insert the paper roll with the paper edge pulling towards the floor rather than the ceiling. See the illustration below:

Pull the end of the paper straight out and over the front of the printer and push down on both sides of the printer cover to close.

First, make sure the printer is turned off, then perform a self-print to get the MAC address of the printer.

To perform a self-print, press and hold the FEED button. Do not let go, but then turn the power on. Take your finger off the FEED button when self-printing has begun.

On this printout, you can check the MAC address from "Network Configuration."

Back on your Android device, go to the Settings screen, tap Wi-Fi, and make sure it is toggled ON.

From the device list that appears at the bottom, refer to the last 6 digits of the MAC address, then tap the device to connect.

Once connected, "Connected, no internet" will appear under the SSID indicating that the connection is established.

Open your device's web browser, such as Safari, and enter 192.168.10.1 in the address field.
