Wireless printing with Chips is fast, convenient, and an easy to set up solution for printing at an event while using your Guac Booth with the Chips Printer.

Chips contains a proprietary brain that eliminates the need to use a third-party printer dongle and connects directly to Guac.

Note: An active Fiesta Pro subscription is required for wired or wireless printing. Printing cannot be accessed while on a Fiesta Plus subscription.

Printing 2x6 Photo Templates

WhatToKnow-Printing2x6PhotoTemplates.png

The printer is set up to print 4x6 images and photo templates by default. In order to print different sizes, the media size will need to be adjusted within the printer’s settings.

You can change the print media size by following these steps.

To print 2x6 photo templates:

Note: The DNP DS620A does not support printing single 2x6 photo templates. The 2x6*2 setting lets the printer print two copies of the photo template on a single 4x6 sheet, which it then cuts into two 2x6 strips.
