    What You'll Need

    • An Xprinter XP-C300H
    • A LAN (RJ-45) cable long enough to reach the router
    • The power adapter and cable
    • The WiFi router your iPad is connected to
    • 80 × 80mm thermal paper
    • An iPad with the MeeD POS app installed

    How to Set It Up

    Step 1 — Prepare the Hardware and Cabling

    1

    Connect the Power Cable

    Plug the power cable into the adapter, then plug it into an outlet — no need to turn it on yet.

    2

    Connect the LAN Cable

    Plug the LAN (RJ-45) cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the printer, and the other end into an open port on your router. Make sure the iPad running MeeD POS is on the same WiFi network as that router.

    The router must be the same one the iPad is connected to — if they're on different networks, the printer won't be found.

    Load the Thermal Paper

    Open the paper compartment cover on top, load an 80 × 80mm thermal paper roll with the heat-sensitive side (the smooth side) facing out, then close the cover securely.

    Step 2 — Find the Printer's IP Address

    4

    Hold Down 'Feed' First

    Before turning it on, hold down the Feed button, then press the Power/Switch button at the same time to turn the printer on.

    5

    Wait for the Indicator Light and the Printed Test Page

    When the LED starts flashing, release the Feed button — the printer automatically prints a test page. It shows the printer's IP Address, e.g. 192.168.1.105.

    Holding down Feed before powering on, then releasing it once the LED flashes so the printer prints a test page automatically
    Keep this printout — you'll need the IP address in the next step.

    Step 3 — Check the IP on iPad (If Needed)

    In most cases, the iPad connects without needing to check the IP manually. This step is only needed if the app can't find the printer in step 4.
    6

    Open WiFi Settings on iPad

    Go to Settings → Wi-Fi → tap the "i" button next to the connected SSID.

    7

    Check the iPad's IP Address

    Scroll down to the IPv4 Address section — you'll see the iPad's IP, e.g. 192.168.1.110.

    Note this down, to check whether the iPad and printer are on the same network (the first 3 numbers must match).

    No settings need to change here — just note the iPad's IP to compare against the printer's IP.

    Step 4 — Connect It in the MeeD POS App

    8

    Open MeeD POS and Go to Settings

    Open the MeeD POS app on iPad → tap Settings (the gear icon in the bottom-left corner).

    Enter the IP and Save

    Enter the printer's IP Address from the test page in step 5 (the port is usually 9100), then tap Save.

    11

    Print a Test Page

    Tap Print Test — if the printer outputs paper, the connection was successful. Additional settings are available too, like copy count, or setting this printer as a kitchen or receipt printer.

    If nothing prints, check that the iPad and printer are on the same LAN and that the IP doesn't conflict with another device.

    Basic Troubleshooting

    The app can't find the printer

    Check that the iPad and Xprinter are on the same WiFi/LAN, and that the IP doesn't conflict with another device on the network.

    The printer doesn't print an IP test page

    Try holding Feed down before turning it on, or holding Feed and pressing Switch again — you need to keep holding Feed until the LED starts flashing.

    The printed text shows as boxes or is unreadable

    Check that the printer model is set to Xprinter in the app, and that you're using standard 80mm thermal paper.

    The printer disconnects mid-use

    Check that the LAN cable is plugged in firmly on both ends, and that the LAN port light on the router is lit or flashing.
