Install Aobio X4/Q5/D4 Driver on Macbook

This document is for Aobio printers and Mac computers.

Step 1: Prepare for the printer setup

1. Aobio requires Mac OS X 10.9 or higher.
2. Obtain a USB cable less than 3 m (9 ft 10 in) in length.
3. There is an available USB2.0/3.0 port on your computer: If you connect the printer through a USB hub or docking station, the printer might not receive enough power or stable signal to properly operate.
4. The printer is turned on and in ready status.

Note: If your Mac has only Type-C ports, you need to obtain a Type-C printer cable to connect the Mac Computer and Printer directly(as following picture). If you connect through a USB hub or docking station, the printer might not receive enough power or stable signal to properly operate. 

Step 2: Install the Driver

1.    Please download the latest version of Aobio's Mac Driver from www.AobioPrinter.com, or you can find  

       the driver in the U Disk comes with the package. 

2.   Once the download finished, you should see the screen shown below.
      ( We highly recommend you open the installation guide to follow along.)

       Double click on the pkg file to begin the installation. 

3. Follow the installation steps until you receive the "The installation was successful" message and click "Close".
