To print from an iPhone or iPad, set up your Rollo Wireless Printer (X1040) on the same Wi-Fi network as your device. Labels you buy with Rollo Ship in the Rollo app print directly to your Rollo Wireless from the phone, with no PDF to save: buy the label in the app, tap Print, and choose your Rollo Wireless printer. For labels from other platforms, open the 4x6 label (for example a PDF in the Files app), tap the Share button, then Print, and choose your Rollo. Rollo Wireless is AirPrint certified, so it shows up in the standard iOS print menu.
Good to know
- Direct printing from the Rollo app: labels bought with Rollo Ship in the Rollo app print straight to Rollo Wireless, no PDF needed.
- Any other label: open the 4x6 PDF, tap the Share button, then Print.
1. What you need
- A Rollo Wireless Printer (X1040) already set up on Wi-Fi (solid blue Wi-Fi light). New printer? Follow Rollo wireless printer setup first.
- Your iPhone or iPad on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer (avoid guest networks).
- The latest Rollo app (Rollo - Print Labels & Ship) from the App Store (requires iOS 15.0 or later on iPhone, iPadOS 15.0 or later on iPad). Older versions cause login and printing problems.
- 4x6 labels loaded in the printer.
2. Print a label
Labels bought in the Rollo app (direct print)
- Open the Rollo app and buy your shipping label in Rollo Ship.
- Tap Print.
- Choose your Rollo Wireless printer. The label prints directly, with no PDF to save or share.
Tip: if your Rollo Wireless isn't listed, check that your phone and the printer are on the same Wi-Fi network, not a guest network (see Troubleshooting below).
Labels from other platforms (PDF and Share)
- Save your shipping label as a PDF. Most selling channels let you download the label.
- Open the PDF on your iPhone or iPad, for example in the Files app.
- Tap the Share button (or the Actions button), then scroll down and tap Print.
- Tap No Printer Selected and choose your Rollo Wireless. It normally detects the label size on its own.
- Tap Print in the top-right corner.
3. Check your printer in the Rollo app
Open the Rollo app, tap Menu, then Rollo Printer.
Select your X1040 to see its network details.
If you can't find them, follow the "If setup fails" steps in Rollo wireless printer setup:
move the printer within 10 to 15 feet of the router, restart your router, the printer, and your phone, or test with your phone's hotspot.
4. Troubleshooting
The printer doesn't show in the print menu
- Check that the Wi-Fi light is solid blue and that your device is on the same network.
- Restart the router, the printer, and your device.
- Still missing? Follow the "If setup fails" steps in Rollo wireless printer setup.
Only 4x6 shows as a size option, or the size is wrong
Rollo Wireless learns your label size automatically when you load new labels. If the size is wrong, reload the labels:
- Press the side release button to open the cover, and remove any labels inside.
- Adjust the purple guides to match the width of your labels, then close the cover.
- Feed the labels in from the back of the printer, with the side you peel off facing up.
- Wait while Rollo Wireless learns your labels.
- If the size is still wrong, press and hold the "r" button until you hear one beep, then release. This runs label identification.
- Print again and check the size.
Rollo Wireless supports 4x6, 2x1 and 2" round labels by default. For other sizes, add a custom label size in the Rollo Printer Portal. See Create custom size labels.
