    Installing the SM-S200i with Windows 8

    by RetailEdge Moderator » Wed Apr 03, 2013 10:49 am

    The SM-S200 will work fine with RetailEdge and provides a good mobile printer solution. However, the Windows 8 driver installation can be a little tricky.

    The steps to install the Star SM-S220i under Windows 8 are as follows:

    1. Be logged in as a user with Administrative privileges.

    2. Link the Bluetooth device.

    3. Go into Devices and Printers, right click the Star Micronics driver and choose Properties.

    4. Go to the Hardware tab and take note of the COM port it specifies for the "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link".

    5. Download the driver package from http://www.starmicronics.com/support/De ... e=SM-S220i.

    6. Unzip the archive somewhere on your computer.

    7. Navigate to %Extracted Folder%\Win 7\x64\

    8. Right click on SM_S20x_Vxxxx.exe and choose Properties.

    9. Go to the Compatibility tab.

    10. Check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and set the dropdown to Windows 7.

    11. Check the box to "Run this program as an administrator and hit OK.

    12. Right-click SM_S20x_Vxxxx.exe and choose "Run as administrator".

    13. Choose for the defaults for each prompt until you get to the screen asking you to select the "port connected to printer".

    14. Use the COM port you took note of in Step 4 and follow the rest of the prompts.

    15. You should now have the driver set up and able to do a test print from Right Click->Properties->Print Test Page
