DNP WCM Plus AirPrint Module

Print photos wirelessly with your DNP printer: meet the WCM Plus. For example, use AirPrint on iPhone, iPad and macOS. There is also built-in support for Android 11 and newer, without the need to download an external app. On Windows 10 and 11, you also print from all programs.

Key Features DNP WCM Plus Airprint Module:

• Wireless and wired via AirPrint: The WCM Plus has built-in support to print wirelessly via AirPrint. Or wired, via an optional LAN to USB adapter.

Here's how it works in practice:

1. Connect the WCM Plus to the printer's usb port with the included usb-b to usb-a cable.
2. Turn on the printer. Power the WCM Plus with the power adapter (EU) provided.
3. The WCM Plus transmits its own Wi-Fi signal. All devices connecting to it can access the printer(s) wirelessly.

Internet connection via WCM Plus

It is often desirable to have simultaneous connection to the Internet while printing from your computer/tablet/smartphone. This can be either wired or wireless. If you want to work wired, connect a UTP cable to the WCM Plus. The Internet signal from the UTP cable then becomes available to devices connected to the WCM Plus via WiFi. It is also possible to connect wirelessly. Here the WCM Plus connects wirelessly to an existing wifi network, after which the WCM Plus creates its own wifi network (with a different SSID). To set this up, log into the configuration page of the WCM Plus (see last paragraph).

Printing via the browser with WCM Plus

In addition to the WCM Plus support for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, Android and Windows, you also print from any other device in the browser. To do this, that device connects to the WCM Plus's Wi-Fi network, then you open the website '192.168.4.1/print' in the browser. From here, a photo of your choice can be printed in a format of your choice.

Photobooths and other apps with WCM Plus
