This chapter discusses how to use your Android mobile devices to print using the WPS Pro EU network. Be sure to follow the installation steps at "Setting Up the WPS Pro EU System" on page 18 before continuing. There are two transfer methods you can use to print from your Android Device to the WPS Pro EU network - web services or FTP.
WPS Pro EU network and the user. Currently, the companion app, WPS Print 2, use an HTTP interface to transfer images to the WPS Pro EU device for printing. While you can also use web services transfer on a PC or Mac computer, that method requires third party software development.

4. Type \\192.168.43.1 in the address bar. This accesses the WPS Pro EU directories. 5. Select Hot Folder Printers folder. 6. Select the folder for your printer model. This is labeled with the model of your DNP printer (for example, DS40.) 7.
7. Using a Mac with the WPS Pro EU This chapter discusses how to use your Mac computer to print using the WPS Pro EU network. Be sure to follow the installation steps at "Setting Up the WPS Pro EU System" on page 18 before continuing.
HFP transfers work best on Mac computers, however some tablets do have HFP transfer capability. Hot folder printing allows you to load larger quantities of prints at a time to the print folder. Note Transferring more than nine (9) images using the HFP method can result in a transfer error (Error 43.) Contact Tech Support for more information.
Printing from a Mac (HFP Transfer) WPS Pro EU User Guide 7. When the Finder window is displayed, make note of the WPS Pro EU device name. Printing from a Mac (HFP Transfer) Attention Any custom cropping must be done before printing as WPS Pro EU only "center crops" to maximize print size and eliminate white spaces.

A test image is automatically printed. It will also set up the appropriate folder (hot folder) from which images will be printed. As noted earlier, WPS Pro EU can be connected to two (2) printers simultaneously. Normal transfer time for prints is 25 seconds but varies based on signal strength, and connection speeds.
FTP options. If your camera does support FTP transfer, follow the instructions in "Using Android Devices for FTP Transfers" on page 32 or "Using Apple Mobile iOS Devices for FTP Transfers" on page 43 to connect your camera to the WPS Pro EU network and print directly from your digital camera.
