Setting Up Your Devices: Label Printers

How to pair and configure your label printer in the Ply mobile app

Video Tutorial:


Step by step:

  1. Pair at the System Level: Ensure your printer (e.g., Brother QL or PT series, or the iDPRT SP410BT on iOS from v1.8.15) is turned on and paired to your mobile device's Bluetooth or connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

  2. Open Any Material: Navigate to your Catalog and select **any material** (it can be a temporary or dummy item).

  3. Open Printer Settings: Tap the **Printer icon (**šŸ–Øļø**)** in the top right corner of the material edit view.
    ​

  4. Configure Printer & Paper Size:
    ​

    • Switch the menu from Content to Printer.

    • Select your printer model from the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi list.

    • Set your installed Label Size.
      ​

  5. Save: Tap Save.
    ​

Once saved, the app remembers this printer and paper configuration for subsequent material label prints.


Workaround

If you want to configure or test a printer before organizing your real inventory, create a single "Test" or "Placeholder" material in your catalog. Open that item to complete the printer setup and run a test print, then delete or archive the placeholder item once configured.
