How to set up a Star WebPRNT printer to print from any device using SplitAbility POS on a LAN.

Perform a "Self Test" to check the settings of the printer:

• Hold down the feed button and switch the printer on.
• The printer will print out two tickets.
• The first contains the printer settings, a short time after the second will give the interface settings of the printer.

Set the printer to use a static IP address:

• Connect the WebPRNT printer to the router or LAN using an Ethernet Cat 5 or Cat 6 patch cable (RJ45 connector).
• Perform a "Self Test" on the printer, see above procedure, the printer will claim a dynamic IP address.
• Browse to the printer: e.g. In a browser URL: http://192.168.0.123 (Use the IP address of printer).
• Log in using the default username "root", password "public".
• Network Configuration - IP Parameters.
• Set the IP address of the printer to be a static IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.250 or 10.0.0.250).
• [Subnet Mask - as per the self test settings e.g. 255.255.255.0 ]
• [Default Gateway - as per the self test settings e.g. 192.168.0.1]
• Save the printer settings then exit.

Set SplitAbility to send prints to the above static IP address:

• Setting - Admin - Printing.
• Select the printer type and add the IP address.

Optional:

• Reserve the static IP addresses for your printers in your router's LAN Setup.
• This is done in the router's "LAN IP Setup" - "Address Reservation" section.
