DNP Manuals

1

Power On

  • Plug in and turn on your DNP printer and make sure no error lights are flashing.

  • ​Plug the WCM into your printer via USB, then plug the WCM into your power source.

  • The WCM will power on and once it boots, will print a test page with information about the WCM hotspot (the local network).

2

Connect to WCM Hotspot

  • Open your iPad's WiFi settings or scan the QR code from your test print and connect to the WCM hotspot.

  • The default password for all new WCMs is: dnp12345 (refer to the WCM manual to change the password).

  • If the network doesn’t initially appear, toggle your WiFi off and back on to get it to populate.

3

Configure Network Settings

  • Open a browser on your iPad and visit http://192.168.4.1. The page can sometimes feel slow to load.

  • Tap on the menu bar (top-left), then tap into the network settings.

  • Use the dropdown to select your desired network, then enter your password.

You can also simply use the WCM's local network.

4

Reconnect iPad to Network

  • Revisit your iPad's WiFi settings

  • Select the network linked to your WCM.'

5

Set Up in HALO App

  • Open the HALO app and navigate to your Prints panel

  • Select the connected printer

  • Tap "test print" to confirm the connection is established.

Using New Networks

When connecting to a new external network, repeat steps 3–4. For familiar networks, WCM should reconnect automatically. ​ Double check your network settings at http://192.168.4.1 if you ever run into trouble printing through a previously established network.

Configuring WCM Settings

Simple Booth supports our own print formatting settings, which are the primary way to ensure your prints look great. For more details, check out this article on print formatting.

Your WCM also offers additional settings for fine-tuning print output, including adjustments for color, resolution, and formatting.

You’ll rarely need to modify the WCM formatting options—Simple Booth’s settings typically cover everything you need to accomplish.

For more details on advanced adjustments, refer to the WCM manual.
