If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment is in direct contact with the body of the user under normal operating conditions. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This is a controlled document. To be sure you have the latest version of this Procedure, compare this document revision to the revision listed in the Document Control database. If you find this document is not current, discard and get the latest version from the Document Control database.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Introduction

What is WPS Pro?

Print photos wirelessly. The DNP Wireless Print Server (WPS Pro) allows you to print glossy and matte photos to any supported DNP printer. You can also send your prints to up to two (2) DNP printers simultaneously. Print photos from up to 30 feet away. Your WPS Pro wireless print server works with the following DNP printers:

 DS40  DS80  RX1  RX1-HS  DS620 (only available in designated sales regions)  DS620A (only available in designated sales regions)  DS820 (only available in designated sales regions)  DS820A (only available in designated sales regions)

Manage your system wirelessly. Use the WPS Pro mobile apps to manage your network and printers while you’re on-themove. With the WPS Print 2 Application, you can print from compatible iOS or Android mobile devices. In many cases you can even print from within other photo apps by using the share functionality! Use the WPS Status app to monitor your printer media usage, check to make sure your prints were transmitted, and troubleshoot network issues. With the WPS Pro’s new touchscreen display you can change your system configuration - such as matte vs. glossy prints, default print quantities, and border settings.

Getting to Know Your WPS Pro Device

Your new WPS Pro device is now equipped with an 8” touchscreen display and the following ports (as labeled in the below diagram):

 One (1) Power  Four (4) USB  One (1) micro SD card  One (1) HDMI  Ethernet  Volume Control  Power Button  Audio

When hooking up your WPS Pro device, you are only going to use the power port and up to two (2) USB ports; if you are connecting only one printer, you are going to use only one USB port. For more information, please “Setting Up the WPS Pro System” on page 18.

One new feature of your new WPS Pro device is an 8” touchscreen display. From this display, you can see the DNP printer(s) attached to the device, how much media is left in each attached printer, any pending print jobs, and up to 5 of the last completed print jobs. You can also use the touchscreen display to access the Configuration module to change your system’s configuration. To learn how to change your system’s configuration settings, see “Advanced Actions” on page 77.

Setting Up the WPS Pro System

Be sure you plug in and turn ON the printer before you connect to the WPS Pro device. When WPS Pro starts, it automatically configures the network for the connected printers. If you change printer connections, shut down your device and then restart it. See “Turning Off the WPS Pro” on page 22 to properly reboot your device.

1. Turn ON your printer(s).

If your printer(s) are NOT powered ON, they will not be detected when connected to the WPS Pro device.

2. Plug the power cable into a properly grounded power outlet and into the WPS Pro power port on the back of the device.

Figure 2. WPS Pro Power Port

3. Connect the printer(s) to the USB ports on the back and side of the WPS Pro device. If you are connecting only one (1) printer to the device, connect the printer USB cable to the top/upper USB port on the back of the device.

Figure 3. WPS Pro top/upper USB

WPS Pro can connect to two (2) DNP printers simultaneously. You must connect to the top/upper USB port on the back of the device first. The WPS Pro device can be connected to the following DNP printers: DS40, DS80, DS620A/DS620,

DS820A/DS820, RX1, and RX1-HS.

Using Android Devices with WPS Pro

This chapter discusses how to use your Android mobile devices to print using the WPS Pro network. Be sure to follow the installation steps at “Setting Up the WPS Pro System” on page 18 before continuing. There are two transfer methods you can use to print from your Android Device to the WPS Pro network - web services or FTP.

1. Using Android Devices for Web Transfers (Mobile Apps). Currently, web services requires the use of a WPS companion app. Use the WPS Print 2 App app to print photos. Use the WPS Status app to monitor your media usage and system status.

2. Using Android Devices for FTP Transfers. FTP transfers allow you to print through the WPS Pro network using your favorite camera and photo editing applications on your mobile device. WPS Pro supports printing from Wi-Fi enabled Android and mobile devices (i.e., smartphones and tablets) using a FTP client application.

WPS Pro also allows you to connect five (5) input/transfer devices simultaneously. Your input/transfer device(s) can be a maximum of 30 feet (10 meters) away from WPS Pro and still send the print job successfully, although ranges can vary based on network traffic.

Before you begin printing, check your WPS Pro console and make sure the WPS Status app is running. In order to process the images it receives, the WPS Pro console must have the WPS Status app open and active.

Attention

Using Android Devices for Web Transfers (Mobile Apps)

Web transfer is a transfer method used by your WPS Pro system. HTTP transfers use web technology to act as an interface between the WPS Pro network and the user. Currently, the companion app, WPS Print 2, use an HTTP interface to transfer images to the WPS Pro device for printing. While you can also use web services transfer on a PC or Mac computer, that method requires third party software development. If you want more information about third party software development, contact your DNP IAM sales representative.

Configuring Android Devices for Web Transfers (Mobile Apps)

The configuration for mobile apps is easy. Simply download the following apps from the Google Play or Amazon App store.
