WCM Plus: Lightning-Fast Wireless Print Module
WCM Plus Wireless Print Module
Wireless Printing for DNP Printers
The WCM Plus transforms DNP printers into wireless systems, making them the perfect match for tablet-based photo booths and guest printing at events. This stand-alone module allows smartphones, tablets, and computers to connect directly to your DNP printer via Wi-Fi, eliminating the USB cables and laptop setup that would otherwise constrain how you position equipment at weddings, parties, and corporate functions.
By connecting your DNP printer to the WCM Plus via USB, you can then run photo booth software on iPads or Android tablets wirelessly, whilst also allowing guests to print directly from their own phones. The module includes a pre-configured Wi-Fi router and works with DS620, DS820, DS80, RX1HS, and QW410 printers straight out of the box.
Key Specifications:
- Wi-Fi Router Included
- AirPrint Support (iOS)
- Android Compatible
- DS620, DS820, DS80, RX1HS, QW410
- 3 USB Printer Ports
- 0.10 kg / 65×91×27 mm
Wireless Connection to DNP Printers
Rather than connecting your tablet or laptop directly to the printer via USB cable, the WCM Plus acts as a wireless intermediary—your DNP printer connects to the module via USB, whilst tablets and phones connect wirelessly over Wi-Fi, effectively removing the cable that would normally tether your device to the printer location.
Dedicated Wi-Fi Network Included
The module comes with a pre-configured Wi-Fi router supporting 802.11 b/g/n standards, which creates a dedicated wireless network for printing without requiring venue Wi-Fi access or complex IT configuration. Simply plug in the router, power on the system, and devices can connect to begin printing wirelessly.
Tablet Photo Booth Operation
Photo booth software running on iPad or Android tablets connects to the printer wirelessly, allowing the tablet to be positioned at a comfortable height for guest interaction whilst the DNP printer sits wherever makes operational sense—whether that's on a nearby table, behind a curtain, or even in a separate room entirely.
Guest Printing from Mobile Phones
At weddings and corporate events, guests can connect their iPhones or Android phones to the WCM Plus network and print directly from their camera rolls wirelessly, without needing to download additional applications or queue for access to a single device.
Operator Editing Capability
Through the WCM Plus admin portal, operators have access to crop, colour correction, filters, and fit/fill tools for making quick adjustments to images without needing to return to a computer—particularly useful when working from tablets at events where bringing a full laptop setup isn't practical.
Custom Border Templates
Operators can upload custom border templates featuring business branding, event logos, or sponsor graphics, which are then applied automatically to all prints—providing a professional finishing touch that reinforces brand identity on every photograph that guests take home from the event.

Applications for Wireless DNP Printing
- Tablet Photo Booth Operations Running photo booth software on iPad or Android tablets becomes significantly more practical when the physical USB cable to the printer is removed, as it allows you to position the guest-facing tablet at an optimal interaction height whilst the printer itself can be placed wherever makes operational sense—whether that's on a nearby table for easy media changes or tucked behind a backdrop to keep the setup visually clean.
- Guest Printing at Events At weddings, parties, and corporate functions, the WCM Plus enables guests to print photographs directly from their own smartphones by connecting to the wireless network, which eliminates the need for operator involvement in each individual print and allows guests to print their favourite moments throughout the evening at their convenience.
- Multi-Printer Wireless Networks The three USB ports on the WCM Plus allow operators to connect multiple DNP printers simultaneously—for instance, a DS620 for 4×6 prints, a DS820 for 6×8 prints, and a QW410 for 2×6 photo strips—all accessible wirelessly from tablets and phones, which not only expands the range of products available to guests but also reduces the frequency of media changes during busy periods.
- Mobile Event Photography Professional photographers working events can move freely throughout the venue with their cameras or tablets, capturing candid moments and sending prints to queue wirelessly at a central printer station, rather than needing to return to a fixed workstation each time they want to produce a print for guests or clients during the event.
- Temporary Event Installations For school photography sessions, corporate activations, and other temporary setups where cable routing can be problematic, the wireless capability of the WCM Plus simplifies both installation and breakdown by eliminating the need to run USB cables between the capture device and printer, which is particularly valuable in venues where cable management presents health and safety concerns or aesthetic issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Which DNP printers work with the WCM Plus?
The WCM Plus is compatible with DNP DS620, DS820, DS80, RX1HS, and QW410 printers, connecting via USB to add wireless printing capability to these models, which then enables both tablet photo booth setups and direct guest printing from mobile phones. If you need to confirm compatibility with your specific printer model, our team can advise on the best setup for your requirements.
-
How does it work without a laptop connection?
DNP printers typically require a USB cable connection to a laptop or computer to function, but the WCM Plus module eliminates this requirement by acting as a wireless intermediary—your DNP printer connects to the WCM Plus via USB, whilst tablets running photo booth software and guests' mobile phones connect to the WCM Plus wirelessly, effectively removing the need for a laptop to be present at events entirely.
-
Do guests need to download an app to print?
Guest printing requires no app downloads—users simply connect to the WCM Plus Wi-Fi network and can print wirelessly from their phones or tablets. For photo booth operators running dedicated software on tablets, the software connects to the WCM Plus wirelessly without requiring additional applications.
-
Is the Wi-Fi router included or do I need venue Wi-Fi?
The WCM Plus includes a pre-configured Wi-Fi router as part of the package, which creates a dedicated wireless printing network without requiring access to venue Wi-Fi or complex network configuration. This gives you complete control over connection quality and eliminates dependency on potentially unreliable venue networks, which is particularly valuable when working at events where Wi-Fi infrastructure may be limited or oversaturated.
-
Can I connect multiple DNP printers to one WCM Plus?
The WCM Plus features three USB ports, which allows you to connect up to three DNP printers simultaneously to a single module—this means you could, for example, offer 4×6 prints from a DS620, 6×8 prints from a DS820, and 2×6 photo strips from a QW410, all accessible wirelessly from the same network, which both expands your product offering and reduces the need for frequent media changes during busy event periods.
-
What are the operator editing tools?
The WCM Plus provides operators with access to crop, colour correction, filters, and fit/fill options through the admin portal, which are designed for making quick adjustments to images without needing to return to a computer—particularly useful when working from tablets at events. These tools are intended for operator use rather than guest editing, allowing you to ensure consistent output quality from the various devices sending print jobs to your DNP printers.
-
What's included in the WCM Plus package?
The complete WCM Plus package includes the wireless print module itself, a pre-configured Wi-Fi router, a Wi-Fi dongle that comes pre-connected to the module, a printer USB cable for connecting your DNP printer, and a 5V 3A power supply with USB-C connection. Everything you need to add wireless capability to your DNP printer is included in the box—simply connect your printer via the supplied USB cable, power on the system, and you're ready to begin wireless printing.
