Manually add a printer to the talech Register

Auto-detect can take up to several minutes depending on the number of printers and configuration of your network. You can also tap the '+' button in the top right corner to add a printer manually.

Select the correct printer model from the list provided. If you have selected a network printer, you will then be able to enter the IP address of the printer.

If you do not know the IP address of the printer you can find it in the setup article of the printer.
