​BEFORE YOU START

Confirm internet access. While the JPS 2000 communicates directly with the printer through a hardwired connection, the Jolt App does need an internet connection to stay updated.

Depending on your situation, you may need to coordinate with your network administrator to connect your JPS display to the correct wireless network with the proper credentials.

Please note — After you complete your JPS setup you will need to name your JPS device. Please see our guide on how to name your JPS

STEP 1 - Prepare Your Printers

After removing the JPS from the packaging, follow these steps to set up your JPS.

  1. Connect to power

    1. Plug the power cord into a power outlet

  2. Position the display

    1. Loosen the wingnut(s) on the display stand (if applicable) and raise the display until it is upright.

    2. Tighten the wingnut(s) to keep the display in place.

  3. Power on the JPS Printers

    1. Turn on the printer(s) by pressing the power button on each printer. The orange status light will turn on.

    2. Within 30 seconds the light will turn green.

  4. Load labels in the printers

    1. Slide the tabs on each side of the printer forward to unlock and open the lid. The printer will automatically go into a "paused" state when the lid is open.

    2. Inside the printer, pull apart the yellow label holders and place a roll of labels between those holders.

    3. Feed the end of the roll of labels under the yellow guides, stickers facing up, onto the roller at the front of the printer. Check that the roll of labels can spin freely.

    4. Close the lid and press the Pause button to cancel the "Paused" state.
      ​

*Please note* — sometimes printers will feed a label or two out of the front when the lid is closed. This is expected behavior and it aligns the labels.

STEP 2 - Jolt App Setup

  1. Turn on the JPS display

    1. Press and hold the power button on the display for 3 seconds to turn it on. The small power button is located on the bottom of the display next to the larger volume button.

  2. Connect to the Internet

    1. On the display, swipe down from the top of the screen twice rapidly for the options menu to appear.

    2. Press and hold the "Wi-Fi" icon in the menu to navigate to network settings.

    3. Select your wireless network, enter the credentials, and tap "Connect."

STEP 3 - Connect to Your Account

If you see the sign-in screen, connect the JPS to your Jolt account; otherwise, skip this step.

  1. Tap Sign In (Admin only)

    1. If you are a Jolt Admin, tap "Sign In" and log in with your username and password.

  2. Connect to a location (non-admin)

    1. If you are not an Admin in Jolt, tap "Connect to a location" and follow the on-screen steps to scan a location QR code. The JPS display has a built-in camera on the back side.

  3. If prompted, select the location that matches where your team will use the JPS.

    1. Also, please select the Multi-User Device option to allow all team members to print labels from the JPS.

  4. Tap Continue then Start Download to download the required account and labeling information to your JPS.
