Printer Setup
Setup your label printer with DataNinja
Connecting to Internet
For ethernet printers, just power up the printer and connect an ethernet cable. Make sure the other end of the ethernet is connected to a working jack. If your printer will operate on Wi-Fi, follow this guide .
Printers and Hub must be on the same network
In order for your hub to send label prints to your printer(s), they must be on the same Wi-Fi, network, or subnet. Your IT person can help ensure this is the case.
Discover Printers in DataNinja
Once the printer is online, you will need to discover it in DataNinja. To do so, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of DataNinja, then click on "Printer" in the Tools column.
Once on the Printers page, click the down arrow on the right side of the "Add Printer" button and select "Discover Printers".
Click "I Understand" to begin discovering printers.
Printer discovery can take a few minutes. Once complete, discovered printers will appear on your Printers page like this:
Set Printer Details
Double click on the relevant discovered printer. Click "Edit" to rename the printer, select "HQ" as the Printer Hub location, and verify printer label stock size.
Tip
It's best to give your label printer a Static IP address. Your IT person can help you with this if you don't know how to set one up.
Select Label Templates
Activate the label template(s) the printer will need to use. Your selection will control which pages and dropdowns the printer will appear in when creating a print job (Ex. Receiving Page vs Manufacturing Record, etc.)
