Chips Wireless Printing Setup
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.

What To Know
Printing 2x6 Photo Templates
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:
- Set the print media size to 2x6*2
- Set the photo template to Double 2x6 in Fiesta

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.
