Installation
Once you have downloaded the WePrint
helper software, you can double click on the downloaded file to open
the installer.
Install the application “WePrint Server” to
your hard disk, or to a USB drive if you wish to use it while
traveling.
Running
Double click on the WePrint helper
application to launch it. It should then show the WePrint window.
If an error message is displayed, you may
need to configure the preferences (below).
You can start and stop the server with the
start/stop button. There is a preference to start the server
automatically when launched.
The “Pause Printing” button will pause the
server and still allow documents to be sent from the iPhone, but will
queue them for printing later.

Configuration
The WePrint software will usually configure itself, but you may
have to change some settings.
WePrint software uses a “Server port” to
configure a connection for the “Print” iPhone application. A server
port is much like the room number in a hotel. All the port numbers are
in the same computer, but point to different applications.
By default, the print server use port 8080.
If this number is in use by some other application, you may need to
change it. Open the preferences and select the “Use custom server port
number” option. A field will appear which you can type a new port
number in - try using 8081 or 8082.

Printing photos/images
Images can be printed using different
sizes and paper trays. Paper tray selection will depend on your System
and printer support. You can select the image size on the iPhone, in
the bottom of the print screen when printing images. If you use the
default image size, the size will be taken from the image size field in
the WePrint settings -> Images tab.
For photo printing, it is best to use "Fill page".
If photos are cut off or you see white bands, you can adjust the image
margins in the WePrint settings - Images tab. You can use negative
margins to extend the print area if needed.
If images don't appear to be the correct
size, you can also adjust the "Image scaling" setting in the WePrint
settings to adjust the image scale to suit your printer. This will
apply to all image size formats that you select on the iPhone eg. 3x5,
4x6, except "Fill Page"

Add a WePrint Server
T o add a print server, click on the blue button to the right of the
“Printer” label. This will start a search for the local WePrint
servers. Make sure your Print Server software is running and started.
When “Print” finds a server, it will allow you to select which printer
to print to. If there is only one printer, that one will be selected by
default and you won't have to choose.
If “Print” doesn't find a print server, you
can enter the server details yourself. The “Add Server” screen allows
you to enter the server address and server port values. These are
displayed in the window of your Print Server software. The name field
is optional. Press “Connect” to test the connection. If there is an
error connecting, see the troubleshooting section below.
