# Connect a Brother QL-810W Label Printer to Munchi POS

> Set up a Brother QL-810W label printer over WiFi — configure the printer's wireless settings and connect it to the Munchi POS app.

Setting up a Brother QL-810W label printer involves two stages: first, you configure the printer's WiFi connection using a setup utility on your computer, and then you connect it to the Munchi POS app using the printer's IP address. Make sure your label printer and your POS tablet are connected to the **same WiFi network** before you begin.

## Part 1 — Configure the Printer's WiFi

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect the printer to your computer">
    Connect the **grey cable** from the label printer to your computer. Do this before opening the setup utility or pressing anything else.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the setup utility">
    Open the **file provided by Munchi support**, press **Utilities**, then select **Wireless Device Setup Wizard**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the wizard">
    Click **Next** to begin the wireless setup process.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm and proceed">
    Click **Checked & Confirmed**, then click **Next**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your WiFi network">
    Wait for the wizard to scan for wireless networks. When the list appears, select the **same WiFi network your POS tablet is using**. Enter the network password in the **Network Key** field, then click **Next** twice and wait for the settings to be submitted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for confirmation">
    Wait for the **confirmation screen** to appear, indicating the settings have been applied successfully.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Disconnect and finish">
    Unplug the cable from the printer, click **Finish**, and close the utility. The printer's WiFi configuration is now complete.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Part 2 — Connect in the Munchi App

<Note>
  During the steps below, the **brother iPrint & Label app** will display your printer's IP address (for example, `10.86.198.250`). Write this number down — you'll need to enter it in the Munchi POS app to complete the connection.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the brother iPrint & Label app">
    On your POS tablet, open the **App Store** and download the **brother iPrint & Label** app if it isn't already installed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to the same WiFi">
    Confirm that both your tablet and the label printer are connected to the **same WiFi network**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your printer model">
    Open the **brother iPrint & Label** app and choose **QL-810W** as your printer model, then tap **Done**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Note the printer's IP address">
    Tap **New Label → Print**, then tap the printer. Allow any permissions it requests and select **Show All Connections**. Wait a moment — your printer's model name and **IP address** will appear (for example, `10.86.198.250`). Write down the IP address, then tap **Done**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the side menu in Munchi">
    In the **Munchi One app**, tap the three lines (☰) in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Printers">
    Go to **Settings → System → Printers**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create and configure the label printer">
    Tap **Create a Printer → Select a Printer → Label Printer**. Enter the **IP address** you noted earlier, then tap **Test Connection** and allow any permissions requested. Name the printer **Label Printer**, set the font style to **Bold** and font size to **Large**, then tap **Create**. Your label printer is now connected and ready to use.
  </Step>
