Primera Ptlink IP60, Technology Ptlink User Manual

Section 1: Overview

The PTLink IP60 wireless print module is a print server that allows the Primera IP60 Photo
Printer to receive prints from IPhone/IPad devices. It features two separate network modes:

1. Hotspot network mode (default) allows the iPhone/iPad to connect and print directly to

the IP60 with no other network present. This is great for events where you will not
necessarily have access to a wifi network.

2. Wifi network mode allows users to connect the IP60 to their own wireless network,

making it accessible throughout their personal network infrastructure. This is ideal for
an office where you want easy access to print to the IP60 just by connecting your device
to the same wifi network.

Section 2: First Time Setup

1. Connect PTLink to power using the included micro USB power supply.

2. Connect the IP60 printer to the PTLink module using the included USB cable (a-b).

Section 3: Connecting to Personal Wi-Fi

If you would like to connect the Primera IP60 wireless print module to your personal network
infrastructure follow these steps:

1. Starting connected to PTLink’s ad-hoc wireless network, navigate using your Safari web

browser to ptlink-xxxxxx.local (The numbers/characters which are represented by the
xxxxxx will be different for each PTLink module and will be printed on a label attached to
your PTLink.)

2. The web portal will appear and ask for login info. Default user and password is:

User: admin
Pass: primera1

3. The web portal will open and present you with local networks it can connect to. Once

you have found the network you would like to connect to, click/tap the name on the
screen.

4. A dropdown will appear asking for either your chosen network’s Wi-Fi password, or it

will display a warning that there are security risks associated with connecting to open
Wi-Fi networks. For a password secured Wi-Fi network, enter your password and press
connect.
For an open Wi-Fi network, view the warning message and press either ok to connect or
close to exit and choose another.

5. After choosing your network and pressing connect, the web portal will show you a

message that a connection is being attempted. Switch to the chosen Wi-Fi network on
the iPhone/iPad to continue printing. After switching networks, you can verify that the
unit is now connected to the chosen network by accessing ptlink-xxxxxx.local on Safari.
If the password has been accepted and the switch has occurred, you will see “You are
currently connected to: <userwifi>”
displayed above the network choices. You are now ready to print to your IP60 unit from
your local Wi-Fi connection, and ptlink-xxxxxx.local will be accessible from any
iPhone/iPad connected to the network. *

*Note: Users must authenticate before having access to the web portal. Anyone
attempting to access ptlink-xxxxxx.local from inside the network will be unable to access
