Requirements: Sine Point Pro App for iPad 1.19.0 or above, Brother QL-820NWB

Looking to purchase a compatible printer, visit the Sine Online Store.

The Sine Point Pro App for iPad now includes support for Brother Bluetooth printers, in addition to the existing WiFi and AirPrint connections.

If your printer has been pre-configured by Sine, indicated by a label affixed to your printer packaging. Please skip to Step 2: Checking.

NB. If a site has a printer connected and upgrades to this version of Sine Point Pro, the existing printer will remain connected via WiFi. Sites can optionally disconnect the printer and reconnect over Bluetooth if they prefer. Having Bluetooth and WiFi enabled at the same time will not cause any issues.

If your printer is not new out of box, it's best to first clear all settings by running a factory reset. To do this press: Menu and select: Administration > Reset > Factory Reset > Reset, then continue with Part 1.
