Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer until the light begins flashing yellow. This puts the printer into setup mode.
On your PC, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to the Rollo network shown on the list.
If prompted for a password, enter rollo printer.
Once connected, open a web browser. A setup page will appear where you can choose your home Wi-Fi network and enter its password.
After saving the settings, the printer light will turn solid blue, which means the connection is complete.
Run a test print to check that the printer is working properly.
