Follow these steps to connect the iPad: - Plug the USB-A port on the back of the printer into the left connector (1), and secure the cable if needed using the cable clip on the right (2). ![inventorumgmbh.zendesk.comhcarticle\_attachments115005881093mceclip6-1](https://help.shore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/inventorumgmbh.zendesk.comhcarticle_attachments115005881093mceclip6-1.png?width=670&height=301&name=inventorumgmbh.zendesk.comhcarticle_attachments115005881093mceclip6-1.png) - Connect the other end to your iPad.
