How to setup a label printer (TSC TDP-225)

Preparations

Before setting up the label printer with a network connection, you must have the following ready:

• Free network port to the network (LAN).
• DHCP address assignment is turned on for the network (contact your network administrator to receive this information).

Set up the label printer

1. Connect one end of the network cable to the LAN port on the printer and the other end to an available port on the switch.
2. Check that the label roll is inserted correctly in the printer.
3. Make sure the sensor is centered as shown in the picture (this is important). 
4. Power on the print agent (pre-configured Raspberry Pi from Front Systems) and connect it to the same network as the label printer. (Ignore this step if you already have a print agent on the same network from before.)
5. The print agent will find the label printer automatically and connect it to the Front Systems Portal.

    

Manual calibration (only for iPad POS with Raspberry Pi print agent)

1. Turn off the printer by pressing the on/off switch on the back of the printer.
2. Hold down the feed button (round button on the front) while turning the printer back on.
3. Continue to hold the round button until the display shows 'Calibrate'.
4. Release the feed button and the printer will calibrate itself.
