Mobile Printer Setup

Last updated 1 year ago

Fast-Weigh Mobile App

To add Mobile Ticketing or Dispatching to your Fast-Weigh subscription, contact us at 865-219-2980 or

The Fast Weigh Mobile app has multiple functions that can be used to streamline and optimize operations in the field. We offer both Mobile and for any iOS or Android mobile device. If you are printing tickets in the field with the Fast-Weigh Mobile Ticketing App, there are a few different printers you can use depending on your mobile's operating system.


Mobile Printing on an Android Device

Android devices support a wider variety of printers than Apple devices, but there are a few that we specifically recommend for mobile printing. If you do opt for a printer that is not in this list, you will need to follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the printer to the Android device itself before printing in the Fast-Weigh app (Note: This usually requires downloading the manufacturer's printer utility from the Google Play Store first).

We recommend the and the .

Mobile Printing on an Apple Device

iPhones currently only support printing through "AirPrint," which allows printing without additional software of drivers needed for your mobile device. AirPrint uses a Wi-Fi connection either by printing over your Wi-Fi network or with a "Wi-Fi Direct" connection to your device.

Configuring a Brother RJ-3050AI with Wi-Fi Direct (Recommended)

Plug the printer into a power source with the provided power cable. Hold the power button on the printer until the light above glows green. Once the printer powers on, the light above the Wi-Fi button should be blue. If it is not, then hold the Wi-Fi button down until the light above glows blue. On your Apple device, go into the Settings App > Wi-Fi. Ensure that Wi-Fi is turned on.

Scroll down to DEVICES, and select your printer.It will be called something along the lines of RJ-3050Ai_24378Note: After the first successful connection, the printer will be located under MY NETWORKS.

You may get a pop-up letting you know that the Printer is not connected to the internet. That is okay, select Join Anyway.

The printer is now connected! Note: Make sure not to disconnect from the printer "Wi-Fi" connection.

Next, navigate to your Fast Weigh Mobile app.

Once you finish and tap "Create Load Ticket," you will be directed to the printing screen.

Select the Brother Printer by tapping "Select Printer" and choosing it from the list.

Note: If the printer does not show up, go back into your Settings app > Wi-Fi and ensure that your device is still connected to the printer network.

If the printer is connected and you are still not seeing it as an option, try turning off your Wi-Fi entirely and then turning it back on (make sure the printer is re-connected).

Adjust the number of copies of the ticket to print, and then tap "Print" on the top right of the screen.
