Printer Set up
The LightDegree android app is designed to connect to Star printers to print the purchase invoice within collections.
See the initial settings required for the printer and for the app (below).
Once set up all you have to do is to pair the printer with the tablet / phone using bluetooth and then each time you select the Print button on the purchase invoice receipt it will print.
Pairing the printer
First pair the printer to the tablet or phone use the PIN 1234 (This code can be updated for security) Typically go to your bluetooth settings, search for the device, click on it to pair and type in the PIN code.
App setup and print:
To print, click on the print button.
Then select the printer in the app setting and then choose Bluetooth (in Select interface), then select the printer Star Micronics, now scroll down and select SM-T3001/T300 STARPRNT and confirm.
(NOTE: Do not select the first SM-T300i/T300 as this will not work - scroll down the list further to find the SM-T3001/T300 STARPRNT).
Now just click the printer icon at the top right of the screen. You can select this multiple times if you need to print more than one copy.
