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.

Using Android Devices for FTP Transfers WPS Pro User Guide
Note
Using Android Devices for FTP Transfers
One of the transfer methods offered by WPS Pro is FTP, or File Transfer Protocol. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one device to another device over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server. FTP transfer is best used when transferring images from a mobile device to the WPS Pro for printing. To do this, you must have a FTP client application installed on your mobile device. Be sure your FTP client application allows for binary data transfer as that is the data type WPS Pro supports.
Configuring Android for FTP Transfers
You can configure mobile FTP client applications to allow you to use this transfer method from most mobile camera and photo editing applications. You can send images to print via the FTP client using the share option.
1. Download and install a FTP client application from Google Play™.
Some examples of FTP client applications are: AndFTP, Auto Uploader, and Turbo Client.
2. Once installed, launch the FTP client application.

Using Apple Mobile iOS Devices with WPS Pro
This chapter discusses how to use your Apple 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 Apple device to the WPS Pro network - web transfer or FTP transfer.
1. Using Apple Devices for Web Transfers (Mobile Apps). Currently, web services requires the use of a WPS companion app. Use the WPS Print 2 app to print photos. Use the WPS Status app to monitor your media usage and system status.
2. Using Apple Mobile iOS 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 iOS 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 away from WPS Pro and still send the print job successfully, although ranges vary depending 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.

Using Apple Mobile iOS Devices for FTP Transfers
One of the transfer methods offered by WPS Pro is FTP, or File Transfer Protocol. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one device to another device over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server. FTP transfer is best used when transferring images from a mobile device to the WPS Pro for printing. To do this, you must have a FTP client application installed on your mobile device. Be sure your FTP client application allows for binary data transfer as that is the data type WPS Pro supports.
Configuring Apple Devices for FTP Transfers
Only use this procedure when setting up your WPS Pro device for the first time. After you have configured your FTP client application to use the share sheet, you do not have to make any other changes.
1. Download a FTP client application from the Apple
Some examples of FTP client applications are: Transmit™, FTP Client Pro, and Easy FTP Pro.
2. Once downloaded, launch the FTP client application.

Note
Using Windows PC with the Hot Folder Print Options (HFP)
HFP, or Hot Folder Printing, is a transfer method where a hot folder (or “watched folder”) is continuously monitored by the WPS Pro system. Images copied into this folder are automatically printed and then removed. Hot folders are used both for manual image imports (copying and pasting files into the hot folder) and for integration with third party software (often via FTP to the hot folder).
HFP transfers work best on PC computers, however some tablets do have HFP transfer capability. Hot folder printing allows you to load larger quantities of prints at a time to the print folder.
Configuring a Windows PC for HFP
Use the following steps to print images from your PC.
1. From your computer, select your WPS Pro device.
The signal is labeled WPSxxxx, where xxxx is a unique number for your device.
2. When prompted, type the following password: DNP20153
3. Open a file explorer window. (Be sure you are not opening an internet browser.)
4. Type \\192.168.43.1 in the address bar. This accesses the WPS Pro directories.
5. Select Hot Folder Printers folder.
6. Select the folder for your printer model. This is labeled with the model of your DNP printer (for example, DS40.)
7. Select the print folder. This folder will be labeled with the print size loaded in your attached printer (i.e., 4”x6”, 5”x7”,
6”x8”.)
8. You are now ready to print your images using hot folder print transfer.

Using a Digital Camera with the WPS Pro
This chapter discusses how to use your digital camera 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. WPS Pro enhances your digital camera capture-to-print work flows. There are a few ways to print to your DNP printers using your digital cameras and your WPS Pro device:
1. “Using Digital Cameras for Wi-Fi Transfers” on page 65. If your digital camera is Wi-Fi enabled, or you have a Wi- Fi adapter for you camera, you can send images to your mobile device, and then print from the mobile device to the WPS network. (Recommended solution.)
2. “Using Digital Cameras for FTP Transfers” on page 66. If you have a digital camera that has an option for FTP transfer, you can also use this option with the WPS Pro network. While some cameras do allow direct FTP transfers, you can also use a third party product.
WPS Pro also allows you to connect up to five (5) input/transfer devices simultaneously. Your input/transfer device(s) can be a maximum of 30 feet away from WPS Pro and still send the print job successfully.
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.
Using Digital Cameras for Wi-Fi Transfers
If your digital camera is Wi-Fi enabled, you can set your camera to transfer your images to your preferred mobile device or computer. Once you’ve set up your digital camera to transfer images via Wi-Fi, it’s easy to transfer images and then print
DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation 65

Printing from Digital Cameras Using a Mobile Device WPS Pro User Guide
Note
them from your mobile device or computer. How you transfer your images to your mobile device depends on your digital camera. Some cameras come with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, while others require a Wi-Fi adapter or accessory. Consult your camera documentation to see if your camera is Wi-Fi compatible.
Printing from Digital Cameras Using a Mobile Device
Once you’ve set up your digital camera to transfer images to your mobile device, it’s easy to send images to your device for printing. Once you’ve transferred the images, use the same steps as “Printing from Android Devices using the WPS Print 2 App” on page 27 or “Printing from Apple Devices using the WPS Print 2 App” on page 38 to print your images. How you transfer your images to your mobile device depends on your digital camera. Some cameras come with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, while others require a Wi-Fi adapter or accessory. Consult your camera documentation to see if your camera is Wi-Fi compatible.
You can now begin printing your images. When WPS Pro powers ON, it will auto-detect the connected printer(s) and the media loaded. A test image is automatically printed. It will also set up the appropriate folder (hot folder) from which images will be printed. As noted earlier, WPS Pro can be connected to two (2) printers simultaneously. Normal transfer time for prints is 25 seconds but varies based on signal strength, and connection speeds.
When naming your image files, use alphanumeric characters. Do NOT use any special characters. Special characters include: @ $ % ^ & * ( ) + = { } Also, a space or a dash should not be the first character in the file name.
Using Digital Cameras for FTP Transfers
To transfer images from your digital camera using FTP, you must have a camera that supports configurable file transfers via FTP or uses a dedicated Android operating system.
Configuring Digital Cameras for FTP Transfers
1. Download a FTP client application from Google Play.
2. Once downloaded, launch the FTP client application.

3. Enter the required information into the following fields:
Host: 192.168.43.1Type: FTPPort: 21Username: photoPassword: none (type the word “none”)Remote Dir: / (forward slash)Mode: Active (usually in advanced settings)
If you are prompted to enter a transfer option, select Binary. If you select ASCII, your images will not print correctly.
4. Click Save to save your settings.
5. If you have not already, connect to the WPS Pro Wi-Fi network.
6. Return to the FTP client application, and click the Login button to connect to WPS Pro.
If the login was successful, a dialog box is displayed, confirming the connection.
7. Once connected to WPS Pro, you can now begin to print your images wirelessly. Please note that WPS Pro will only print JPEG and PNG file formats.
Printing from Digital Cameras Using FTP
While only a handful of cameras currently offer a FTP transfer option, those work flows are usually compatible with the WPS Pro network. Consult your camera documentation to find out more about your camera’s specific FTP options. If your camera does support FTP transfer, follow the instructions in “Using Android Devices for FTP Transfers” on page 32 or “Using Apple Mobile iOS Devices for FTP Transfers” on page 43 to connect your camera to the WPS Pro network and print directly from your digital camera.

Custom Borders
Custom borders provide the ability to create branded prints with custom logos and event information. The borders are automatically applied to any print of the specified print size when the images are printed via the WPS Pro system and you have enabled borders. You can design a border using any photo application software package that allows for the creation of layers within the file. A few examples are Photoshop, GIMP, and Corel Paintshop Pro. You must create a border for each orientation - both horizontal and vertical.
Custom Border Requirements
Each border file must contain a space with a transparent background where the image will appear. Newly created borders must meet the following criteria:
File Format: PNG only. Orientation: Both horizontal and vertical borders must be loaded for each new border. If you only load one
orientation, then only that border will appear on prints.
File Naming: border-o.png where border is a fixed term, and o is the border orientation, i.e.,
border-v.png for a border that has a vertical orientation.
Size: Must be the full size in inches for each print size. For example, a 4x6 border would be 4”x6” (vertical) and 6”x4”
(horizontal). You can also use the following pixel sizes:
4x6: 1200x1800 pixels5x7: 1500x2100 pixels
6x8: 1800x2400 pixels Resolution: 300 dpi Color Mode: RGB only Background/Image Space: Must have a transparent background, or image space. The area where the image will
appear cannot be colored in.
Image Compression: No compression allowed. (No LZW, etc.)
In general, the opening in the border should be the same aspect ratio as the overall image, although the opening does not have to be strictly rectangular, and it may have varied edge treatments. Having elements of the border overlap the image space is acceptable, however keep in mind this may block important portions of your images.
Creating Custom Borders
1. On your computer, create a folder for your border files. Name the border folder with a dynamic name that you will recognize later.
2. Use your preferred photo editing software to create your new border.
3. Use the above requirements to create two borders that have the correct file size, file format, color mode, background
transparency, and resolution. One for horizontal prints and one for vertical prints.
4. Save your borders with the proper file name (either border-v.png or border-h.png) in the border folder you just created. Remember, each print size must have a horizontal and vertical border.

Note
Adding the Custom Borders to the WPS Pro
You must complete this procedure from a PC or Mac computer that is wirelessly connected to your WPS Pro device.
1. Connect to the WPS Pro Wi-Fi network.
2. Open a file explorer window. (Be sure you are not opening an internet browser.)
3. Type \\192.168.43.1 in the address bar. This accesses the WPS Pro directories.
4. Open the Borders directory.
5. Browse to the print size for the borders you created.
6. Copy the border folder you created earlier (with both border files in it), and paste that folder in the print size folder.
Within each border folder, a configuration file (XML file) is automatically created by the WPS Pro system. There is no need to create a new XML file for new border folders.

3. Select the ON radio button.
4. Locate the Border Selected option.
5. Tap the Border Selected box and select the border you wish to add to your image.
6. Scroll to the bottom of the page and touch the Save Configuration button. After touching the Save Configuration
button, WPS Pro re-boots itself. (If you have initial test prints turned ON, reconnect once your test image prints.)
7. The border you have selected is printed on your images.
Troubleshooting Borders
If you are having issues after installing and enabling borders, use this section to troubleshoot those issues.
Borders are only enabled for one print size.
If you want borders enabled for all print sizes, you must have border files installed on your WPS Pro device for all print sizes. Example: You are using your WPS Pro system with a DS620A printer and you have 6x8 ribbon and paper installed. You have included border files in your 4x6 print size folder, and you have enabled borders using the WPS Pro Configuration screen on your device’s touchscreen display. If you make 6x8 prints, no borders will appear. You must create and install border files in your 6x8 print size folder as well.
I can’t enable different borders for different print sizes.
At this time, you can only enable borders with the same folder name for all print sizes. You can create any border you want and as long as you use the same folder name, and then you can enable that border across any print size. Example: You want a “thank you” border for 4x6 prints, and a “congratulations” border for 6x8 prints. Create the sets of borders, and use the same folder name - “wedding 2015” - for both sets of borders. After you have enabled borders using the WPS Pro Configuration screen, any 4x6 you print will have the thank you border and any 6x8 you print will have the congratulations border.

My border isn’t printing. WPS Pro User Guide
My border isn’t printing.
Check for the following common issues if your border isn’t printing:
Have you enabled borders using the WPS Pro Configuration screen? If so, did you reboot your WPS Pro device
to make sure the changes were saved?
Is your border file named correctly? Did you use the correct border file parameters when creating the file? Are your borders saved inside a border folder for the print size you need?If borders are only printing for one orientation, make sure you have installed both borders on your device and
that both files were created properly.
If you are still having issues, contact technical support for assistance.

Changing the Printing Settings
Use the printing settings to change your print finish type, printer pooling settings, and other printing size options.
When sending images via WPS Pro, keep the image size in mind in relation to your selected print sizes. You must send images that are formatted to the correct aspect ratio for your print media. This is especially important when dealing with strip cuts or square cuts. For example, if you send an image that is sized for a 4x6 aspect ratio print to a printer that has 2x6 strips as the default print size, the print will be cut down the middle - not resized to print on part of the paper.
Changing the Printing Size Options
There are a few printing options that can be enabled or disabled that deal with the final print size or how the print is printed on the ribbon panel. Those options are:

Configuring FTP Settings WPS Pro User Guide
Configuring FTP Settings
One of the transfer methods offered by WPS Pro is FTP, or File Transfer Protocol. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one device to another device over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server. FTP transfer is best used when transferring images from a mobile device to the WPS Pro for printing. To do this, you must have a FTP client application installed on your mobile device. Be sure your FTP client application allows for binary data transfer as that is the data type WPS Pro supports. Use this section to set up your FTP setting for your WPS Pro network.
Configuring FTP
Enables or disables the FTP transfer option. Only enable FTP if you are planning on using that transfer option. If you disable the FTP transfer option, be sure to enable the HFP transfer option.
1. Under the FTP section of the WPS Pro Configuration screen, locate the Enable FTP option.
2. Change the radio button to ON or OFF.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and touch the Save Configuration button.
4. Upon touching the Save Configuration button, your device restarts.
5. After three minutes, reconnect to the WPS Pro Wi-Fi network. (If you have initial test prints turned ON, reconnect

Configuring HFP Settings WPS Pro User Guide
Configuring HFP Settings
HFP, or Hot Folder Printing, is a transfer method where a hot folder (or “watched folder”) is continuously monitored by the WPS Pro system. Images copied into this folder are automatically printed and then removed. Hot folders are used both for manual image imports (copying and pasting files into the hot folder) and for integration with third party software (often via FTP to the hot folder). Hot folder printing allows you to load larger quantities of prints at a time to the print folder.
Configuring HFP

1. Under the HFP section of the WPS Pro Configuration screen, locate the Enable HFP option.
2. Change the radio button to ON or OFF.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and touch the Save Configuration button.
4. Upon touching the Save Configuration button, your device restarts.
5. After three minutes, reconnect to the WPS Pro Wi-Fi network. (If you have initial test prints turned ON, reconnect
