Finding the IP adress of your printer

1. Turn off the receipt printer by pressing and holding the button on the front of the receipt printer, at the far right. The blue light should go out.
2. Before restarting the printer, press the FEED button on the front of the receipt printer. It is located to the left of the power button.
3. Press and hold FEED while turning on the receipt printer by pressing the on / off button for about 5 seconds until it resumes. Keep holding FEED for a while.
4. After a while, two printouts will be printed.
5. The second printout contains information about the IP address. Look at the bottom of the paper. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 it is most likely because the network cable is loose. Then check that the cord that goes from the receipt printer to the router is as it should.
