The first task is to get the printer configured on your Local Area Network (LAN). Connecting by WPSWPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard for making easy connections between wireless networking devices. Depending on the manufacturer, the buttons that have been displayed as "AOSS", "Easy wireless start", "JumpStart" etc. may also function as WPS. Press and hold the Pair button until the blue LED of the printer blinks (see the diagram below).  Press the WPS (or equivalent) button of the router.When the printer connects to the network, the blue LED will stop flashing and become solid blue. The printer will print off its connection information including its IP Address. Your printer is now set up on your network. Connecting by Ad-Hoc If your equipment is not suitable for connecting by WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect by 'Ad-Hoc'. Once you have connected using Ad-Hoc and set the necessary wireless LAN setting, you can connect your printer to your wireless LAN network. The first step is to get the printer's 'Mac Address'. To do this, we need the printer to self-print its settings. With the printer switched off, hold down the feed button while you switch the printer on. It will print out something similar to the image below with the 'Mac Addr' at the top, the printer's own network name listed underneath, and the printer's IP Address at the bottom.  Now open the Wi-Fi Settings on your iPad. Among the list of networks, you should see the TSP100III listed with the last six digits of the Mac address beside it (see below). Tap on it to join the network. A popup will appear to tell you that an Internet connection cannot be made. Tap Join Anyway.The name of the printer's network 'TSP100III-xxxxxx' will appear with a tick beside it (xxxxxx being the last six digits of the printer's Mac address).Open a browser on the iPad you are connecting the printer to and type 169.254.1.1 (fixed IP address of the Ad-Hoc mode) in the address entry field.This will open the 'TSP100III Network Utility'. You should see a screen like the one below.  From the menu on the left side of the screen, tap Log in. Log in with the default username 'root' and the password 'public'. A pop-up may appear to prompt you to change the password. Tap OK to change it or Cancel to leave it as it is. Now click on 'WLAN Settings' from the menu on the left panel of the screen. Enter the name of your office LAN network (SSID) and the security key (Password) as shown here and then tap on the Submit button. The Save button in the left margin will flash red.                                                                                 Now tap the flashing red Save button on the left side.  Proceed with tapping the Execute button as shown above to reboot your printer. The printer will restart and self-print its settings with a new IP Address at the bottom of the self-print. Your printer is now connected to your network and you should reconnect your iPad to your network in the iPad Wi-Fi settings. Tap on the name of your network and enter the password to reconnect.Configuring Your Printer on Indica POSNavigate to Menu→Settings in Indica POS.  Go to Hardware→Receipt Printers: Attention: Your Star TSP100 IIIW Printer will be listed as default. Click the receipt printer listed and select Test Printer.
