1. Turn the power on. The printer should display a solid light at the front.
2. If necessary, load the printer with a suitable receipt roll.
3. If any of the front lights are flashing, you have an error. Please refer to the [Star Micronics LED error codes](/support-faqs.md#star-micronics-printer-errors) to troubleshoot.
4. Now, take the iPad that you wish to use with the Printer.
5. Connect the iPad to the printer using the official USB Lightning cable provided with the iPad. The USB port is located on the back of the Printer.
6. Once the printer is connected, launch the AccentPOS application.
7. Sign in to the application.
8. Tap on 'no printer' in the status bar (bottom right) or 'connect printer' from the settings cog (top left).
9. Your printer should appear in the list.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.accentpos.com/1/printer-setup/lighting-receipt-printer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
