Raspberry Pi installation for printer

Before starting to install the Raspberry Pi, please make sure that you have all of the needed parts: 

• Raspberry Pi
• Power cable
• USB cable
• Network cable. Network cable is not part of the Raspberry Pi package and needs to be purchased separately.

Make sure that the printer is located near the network socket.

Installing the printer:

1. If you are installing the full printer package for the first time, start by selecting a location for the printer (With the network cable, it’s recommended to place the printer next to a network socket).
2. Install the external server (instructions below)
3. Place the power cord in place to the printer
4. Turn the printer on
5. Test the printing from Trail

Installation of the external server:

1. Insert the USB cable to one of the four USB ports in the Raspberry Pi. Connect the other end to the printer's USB port.

2. Insert the network cable to its port in Raspberry Pi. Attach the other end to the network socket on a wall.

3. Connect the power cable to the USB-C port in a Raspberry Pi. Attach the other end to power socket. Power will turn on automatically after this.

4. Inform support@trail.fi that you have installed the Raspberry Pi. We will then create a connection to the printer and complete the printer set up.
