Establishing a Google Cloud Print Connection
After performing
Hardware Installation
Steps, follow these directions to register a Google Cloud
Print connection to a new xPrintServer unit. This connection does not need to be re-established
after the initial connection is made unless
Resetting the xPrintServer Unit to Factory
Defaults is
performed.
Note:
A Google account and up-to-date web browser are required for establishing a Google
Cloud Print connection. Since multiple Google account logins and passwords may be stored in a
browser maintaining “signed-in” status, it is recommended that you make sure to log out of all
Google accounts prior to beginning these steps. One way of doing this is by using the
incognito/privacy mode in a browser. This way you may select the desired Google account to be
used in establishing this Google Cloud Print connection. Only one Google account can be
associated with an xPrintServer unit at any time. If more than one account needs access to
xPrintServer admin functions, consider using a Google account that can be shared. See
Accessing Google Cloud Print Administrative Features Online
. Your device
(smartphone/table/PC) must be on the same wired or Wi-Fi network as your xPrintServer unit.
1. Login to the Admin interface of your xPrintServer device in one of two ways below. You will
need to access the QR code or serial number on the
Product Label
on the underside of your
xPrintServer device.
Scan the QR code on the
Product Label
using your Android smartphone or tablet and
click the link displayed on your QR code reader to access the xPrintServer device Admin
interface where you may log in (see
Figure 3-2 Login Prompt
.)
Note:
QR code readers are available for Android smartphones and tablets at the Google
Play™ store. Lantronix recommends using the ZXing Barcode Scanner app, which may be
found at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android
.
OR
Type

directly into a web browser
and enter the alphanumeric
serial number from the
Product Label
. Web browsers can be accessed on a smartphone,
tablet or PC. The serial number is alphanumeric and 12 characters in length. A login
window in the xPrintServer device Admin interface appears for login (see
Figure 3-2 Login
Prompt
.)
