Port Name
Supported in:
This setting allows you to define the IP address assigned to the printer when it is configured with an Ethernet connection or the printer name when it is configured with a Bluetooth connection. It can be automatically filled out using the Select Printer setting.
Default Value: blank
If using an Ethernet-connected Star printer, the IP address can be verified by printing a self-test page from the printer by:
- Turning the printer’s power switch to the OFF position
- Pressing and holding the paper feed switch (SW1)
- Turning the printer’s power switch to the ON position
- Releasing the paper feed switch (SW1)
In the setting field, the IP address must be prefaced by ‘TCP:’ as in ‘TCP:165.146.1.100’ with no space between the colon and the IP address.
If using a Bluetooth-connected Star printer, the printer name can be verified under iPadOS/iOS Settings > Bluetooth as the device name. By default, this is 'Star Micronics' for most models. The printer name can be modified using the Star Setting Utility, available for free on the App Store. In the setting field, the printer name must be prefaced by ‘BT:’ as in ‘BT:Star Micronics’ with no space between the colon and the printer name.
