Connecting the printer to Passtab using Manual IP

Please note: Whilst Bluetooth is the quickest and easy way to connect the printer to the iPad, it only supports one connection at a time. As a result Bluetooth is not suitable for schools wanting multiple iPads connected to the same printer. To connect multiple iPads to the same printer, use either a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.

ATTENTION Western Australia, Government Schools
The WiFi method is not supported by Western Australian Government School networks. Please use the Bluetooth or Ethernet method. Also, your iPad must be on a managed Wi-Fi network (i.e. 2.4 or 5) – Not “Edupod” (similar to a Guest access for students) to connect the Printer.
