Before you start

For the setup of the printer, we will need the test receipts.

To perform a hardware test on your printer, follow these 5 following steps.

  1. Turn off the Star printer.

  2. Press and hold the feed button.

  3. Turn the printer back on.

  4. Continue to hold the feed button until the Network Configuration report prints out. This will print out two test receipts. At the bottom of the second page, it will show Current IP Parameters Status. Keep this page or note down the IP Address.
