Step 2: Connect Dye-Sublimation Printer to your computer over the network using the Virtual USB Tool

Run the “Virtual USB Client” software after installation.
The software will automatically detect USB servers on the local network and display connected device information.
Select the Dye-Sublimation Printer you wish to connect to. Click “Connect” to establish a connection. The status will change to “Connected”.
This action simulates a virtual connection between your Dye-Sublimation Printer and the computer.

In the tool, click “Disconnect” to release the Dye-Sublimation Printer so that it can be used by another computer.

Important Notes:

Each a Dye-Sublimation Printer can only be connected and controlled by one computer at a time.
If another computer needs to use a Dye-Sublimation Printer, please disconnect it from the current computer first.
Ensure your computer is on the same local network as the print server to ensure proper discovery and connection.

Make sure the computer is NOT connected via the Virtual USB Tool at the same time.
Ensure the printer is not being used or occupied by another computer.
Restart both the printer and the LK100W device.

If your device is not recognized after clicking “Connect”, try the following troubleshooting steps:

Check device compatibility:
- Some USB devices, such as external hard drives, may not support virtual USB connections.
- Compatibility can vary by brand—certain brands may work, while others may not.
Physically connect the device to your computer:
- Plug the USB device directly into your computer’s USB port to confirm that it works properly.
- Some devices, like printers or scanners, need to be physically connected at least once so the system can install the necessary drivers.
- After the drivers are installed, the virtual USB connection may start working correctly.

💡 Tip: Always ensure your USB device functions properly when connected directly before using it via the virtual connection.

Make sure the correct printer driver is selected.

Do NOT use the system’s generic or default printer driver. Always install and use the official driver from the printer manufacturer.

Dye-sublimation printers require data buffering and image processing before printing.
A slight delay is normal behavior.
