In this article, we’ll go through the basic steps needed to work with the Xprinter XP-C260-N printer with an 80 mm paper roll width, which connects via Bluetooth.
You’ll learn how to correctly insert paper into the printer, how to pair it with a tablet, and how to find its physical address. This address needs to be entered into our internal system so that the Storyous POS app on your tablet can communicate with the printer without any issues.
Loading the Paper Roll
Open the top of the printer and insert the roll into the internal compartment, ensuring that the paper unwinds upward, as shown in the image. If the paper is running low, a red panel on the front of the printer will light up.
| Tip: Use high-quality thermal paper (you can order them through our sales department; contact information can be found here). |
Printer pairing
- Connect the LAN cable to the port on the back of the printer labeled Net, and connect the other end to the router.
- The Net port should display orange and green control light, which that printer is receiving an internet connection.
Self-test
A self-test is a printout with the device’s technical details. To print it, follow these steps:
- Turn off the printer.
- Press and hold the Feed button, turn the printer on, and release the button after 3 seconds.
- The printed document will contain the printer’s IP address.
