Installing the printer driver (Windows Only)

3. If prompted Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device select Yes.
4. Continue the setup process:
   • Plug in the printer when prompted, and make sure the printer is powered on.
   • Select your connection type: Choose a wired or wireless connection for your printer.
   • Your printer will print your internet connection details during this stage.

Installing the printer driver on a Mac using Windows through Parallels is currently not supported.

Connecting multiple Portable Printers

Need to use more than one printer? You can connect multiple printers to the same computer or network by following these steps:

1. To add each new printer, rerun the inFlow Portable Printer driver.
2. During installation, assign a unique name to each printer, such as “Warehouse Printer 1” or “Receiving Station Printer.” This makes it easier to select the correct printer when printing labels.

Once everything is set up, all printers will be listed in your inFlow print options, allowing you to direct labels to the appropriate printer based on your workflow.

Consider this setup if you have multiple workstations or need to print various types of labels from different locations.
