Photograph the item (up to 6)

Capture different angles, both sides, any markings, the gate/stitching. Photos are used for AI identification and stay as the visual-inspection record.

📷 Take a photo

Make a printer file

Patches a real printer master — only the letters and the counter start change. Layout, fonts and spacing stay exactly as built on the printer.

Layout

What are you marking?

Numbering

Letters (1–3, A–Z or 0–9) Start number (0–65535)

Getting it onto the printer

Files app → Downloads → long-press the .zip → Uncompress (new-format files are folders; Safari can only download zips)
Printer: cartridge in, power on, Settings → USB
Connect the phone by cable. Lightning needs a Lightning-to-USB3 Camera Adapter with power passthrough — cheap USB2 adapters fail on power draw
Copy into USER → user → record — navigate into user, then into record, and paste there. Not the top level: the root is treated as removable USB content and the counter resets to the start value every power-off. Only user/record is permanent storage.
Delete any "._" file that appears beside it after pasting. iOS writes these automatically and they must not be left on the printer
Disconnect, power-cycle the printer, then File → [layout] → Open

Account

Access password

Access password — share this with your users (6+ characters) Repeat it

Admin password — keep this to yourself (8+ characters) Repeat admin password

Required to ever change or remove the access password. Must be different from it. Set once — nobody can change access without it, even signed in as you.

Admin password (required to make this change)

This button only changes the access password, and needs your admin password to do it. Your admin password is changed only in the section below, using the current one.

Danger: remove the access password

Removing it lets anyone who knows the company code sign in. Type REMOVE to confirm.

Change the admin password

Current admin password New admin password (8+ characters)

Everyone signing in with this company code needs this password. Only the administrator can change it.

How it works

Scanning marked items, the register and logs use the shared company database. AI identification runs on the server with the owner's key — no key needed on your phone. Location is captured from this phone's GPS (allow when asked) and stored as the item's last known location. ID labels are built on the phone in "Print ID number" and copied to the printer by cable.
