3.1 Bluetooth Printing Setup

Grab Cloud Printer not only supports cloud printing but also universal Bluetooth printing. Please follow the steps below for setup:

Step 1: Enable Bluetooth Scanning on Your Device

  • Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your device (mobile phone or tablet) and that it has Bluetooth access permissions.
  • Scan for printers on your device:
    • Apple iPhone (iOS): Go to "Settings" → "Bluetooth." Here you can turn Bluetooth on or off, and view and pair available Bluetooth devices.
    • Android Phones: Usually, go to "Settings" → "Connected devices" or "Bluetooth" or "Connection & sharing" (specific names may vary depending on Android version and phone brand). Here you can turn Bluetooth on or off, and search for and pair new devices.

Step 2: Complete Bluetooth Pairing with the Printer

  • Find and connect to a printer with a name format of GCPS01-XXXX (XXXX represents the last 4 digits of the printer's serial number).
  • Click on the printer named GCPS01-XXXX when found.
  • If a pairing confirmation code pops up, click "Confirm" to complete the pairing.

Step 3: Print Settings

  • Use an application that supports Bluetooth printing for print settings and debugging.
  • The cloud printer supports 80mm thermal paper. Please set the order format and size for the best printing results.

Tips:

  • Due to different device operating systems, the entry points for enabling Bluetooth and Bluetooth pairing may vary.
  • When using Bluetooth printing, please ensure your application supports this feature and has obtained the necessary Bluetooth permissions. If you encounter issues, please contact the application provider promptly.
  • After successful pairing, you will hear a voice prompt from the Printer.

3.2 Wired Connection Setup

Grab Cloud Printer also supports network cable and USB connections. After connecting, other main devices (such as POS machines or cash registers) can send print commands to the cloud printer to print orders or receipts. Please follow the steps below for connection:

Step 1: Connect Network Cable or USB Data Cable

  • Connect the network cable or USB data cable to the network port or USB port of the cloud printer.
  • If you are connecting to the USB port on the cloud printer, please use a Type A-C cable for connection.

USB connection

  • Before use, ensure that the cable connection between the cloud printer and the router is stable.

Network connection

Step 2: Print Settings and Debugging on the Host Device

  • You need to select and check on the host device whether the printer is connected correctly. This depends on the brand, model, and supported printer types of your main device.
  • If your device can connect to the printer, perform a print test to ensure printing can be executed correctly.
  • Given the differences in host device brands and models, if you encounter problems during connection and debugging, please contact the host device manufacturer for technical support.
  • The cloud printer supports 80mm thermal paper. Please set the order format and size for the best printing results.

Tips:

  • After a successful network cable or USB connection, the cloud printer will issue corresponding voice prompts.
  • After connecting the network cable, double-click the power button to access the printer's Debug information page and obtain the LAN IP address for connection configuration.
