Star TSP100IIIW (Wi-Fi)

- You can locate steps for connecting with the AP process here.
- All setup steps can be found within full printer manual.
- Additional instructions can be found here.
- Note: If you use a wireless printer and experience printing delays, we’d advise using a wired printer.
Step Two: Installing PrintNode
