      Step 4. Notify Simple RFiD

      Finally, please notify us of your new device so we can connect it to your account.

      Email: support@simpleRFID.com

      1. Please make "Connect Printer" the subject
      2. In the body of your email include:

          • Your company name

          • The name of the PC

          • Name of the location where your printer is connected

            • This refers to the physical location where the printer is located (e.g. which warehouse or store the printer is in). If you are setting up your printer before your first training, you can disregard this step as you will not have any locations set up yet.

      After sending the email, a member of our team will connect your printer

      ⇒ Please allow up to 8 hours for a response, notifying you that the printer is connected (expect a shorter wait time during normal business hours: 9-5pm MST)

      Once the printer is connected, it will appear on the Settings > RF Printers tab

      After setting up the printer, you can optionally Connect Shopify or proceed to Training 1.
