¶ User Guide for Offline Use
¶ Overview
The printer and design software each include a special mode for use in environments without an internet connection:
-
Printer AP Mode: Turns your printer into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Your computer can connect directly to the printer’s Wi-Fi signal, enabling device control and file transfers without requiring an external network.
-
Editor Offline Mode: When your computer is offline, the editor can switch to this mode automatically or manually. In Offline Mode, you can continue to design and save your projects as local files.
In short: First, use AP Mode to connect your computer to the printer. Then, use Offline Mode on your computer to create your designs.
