Each compatible printer with CURV has a MAC Address, similar to an IP address. To obtain the mac address, you’ll have to first get your printer all set up. Make sure your printer is plugged into power, connected to an ethernet cable, and has paper inside. Once the printer is all set, locate the feed and power buttons.
Please Note: *Make sure that printer is connected to the same network as the POS devices.*

These buttons will be required to print out internal printer details which contain the MAC address. You can also test if the receipt paper is printing by holding down the feed button. The feed button will be found in front, and the power switch will be on the side.

After locating both the power and feed button, get set to hold both at the same time. Follow these steps.
For this example we will using the SP700 by STAR Micronics.

- Place both hands ready onto both buttons.Turn on the power to the printer. Immediately hold down the feed button until you hear a beep, then let go.
