How to Connect the Rollo Printer using a Mac

1.  Download the Rollo Driver

You can download the driver for a Mac device from this link.

2.  Open the downloaded DMG file

Open the downloaded DMG file and follow the steps to ensure that the installation is completed successfully.

3.  Go to "System Preferences"

Then click on "Printers and Scanners":

4.  On this pop-up, click the + button under the Printers window.

From the drop-down, click Add Printer or Scanner...

The Rollo printer will be visible as 'Printer Thermal Printer'. Select this option from the list.

5.  Click on the Add button.

Now you will need to set the default label size on your Mac

The default settings for your printer on a Mac, can be edited with CUPS (an open-source printing system Apple uses that allows you to configure a printer on a Mac). Open your internet browser and copy and paste the following address into your browser's address bar:  

http://localhost:631/admin

If you receive a "web interface error” you must configure your Mac to allow access to CUPS. You can do this in seconds with the Terminal utility app. You can skip the next step if you are able to access CUPS.

Enable CUPS in Terminal

Open Terminal using the Spotlight Search in the righthand corner of the Menu Bar.

Copy and paste the following command into Terminal: 

cupsctl WebInterface=yes

Then hit Enter, and CUPS is enabled!

Quit Terminal and go back to your internet browser.

Refresh the page, or again copy and paste the address:

http://localhost:631/admin

Click on the “Manage Printers” button:

From the list of printers click on the Rollo, on this window you want to click on the drop-down box that currently shows “Administration” and choose “Set Default Options”:

Now you should be in the default settings for your Rollo. On the General settings you will want to match the following settings and then click “Set Default Options”.  This example is for the Rollo 2 1/4 x 1 1/4 labels.

Test print your labels on the Rollo with ScanLister.  If it is still not printing correctly, follow the directions below.  Go to Page Options and set the Horizontal Offset to 4mm.
