Before the first use, [the components of the set must be commissioned](/v1/docs/en/produkt-sets-cutting-production-set-erste-schritte) . As soon as the commissioning is complete, the configuration of the app can be started by clicking on "Configure". After the initial configuration, the "Configure" button will turn into a gear. Here you can make further settings later. ![Starten der Konfiguration](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Starting the configuration The app guides you through the configuration in individual steps. ## Step 1: Customize the name of the workplace In the first step, the **name (1)** of the workstation can be customized. Assigning a name that is as descriptive as possible makes it easier to select it later in the overview. In addition, you have the option **"Last workstation, status will be set to finished" (2).** This automatically sets the status of the components that pass through this workstation to finished after completion. ![Vergabe eines Namens für den Arbeitsplatz](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-01-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Assignment of a name for the workplace ## Step 2: Configure the scanner In the next step, you have the option of integrating a scanner. This is optional, but it simplifies working with the application. In the [Devices & Hardware](/v1/docs/en/geraete-hardware-empfohlene-hardware#datalogic-pbt-9501) section, we have listed some recommended models. Detailed instructions on how to add a scanner can be found [here](/v1/docs/en/geraete-hardware-scanner-fehlerbehebung#scanner-soll-zum-ersten-mal-verbunden-werden). If you do not want to include a scanner, click on "Continue without scanner" to proceed to the next step. By calling up the configuration again, you can also connect additional devices at a later time. ![Einbindung eines Scanners](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-03-04-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Integration of a scanner ## CUBE">Step 3: Configure the HOMAG CUBE Now connect the HOMAG CUBE to the app. The HOMAG CUBE can be added by scanning the label on the back. The tablet (or the Bluetooth scanner connected in the previous step) can be used for this purpose. ![Hinzufügen eines HOMAG CUBE](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-02-01-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Adding a HOMAG CUBE ![](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/CUBE-Typenschild.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Scan the QR code on the back of the CUBE with your tablet. Please use the large QR code on the right of the label. ![Das Hinzufügen des HOMAG CUBE nimmt etwas Zeit in Anspruch](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/pAC-configuration-05-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Adding the HOMAG CUBE takes some time ![Auswahl eines oder mehrerer HOMAG CUBEs am Arbeitsplatz](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-02-03-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Selection of one or more HOMAG CUBEs at the workstation After the HOMAG CUBE has been successfully added, the printer to be used at this workstation can be selected. ## Step 4: Configuring the Printer The integration of a printer is necessary for the output of labels. The devices connected to the HOMAG CUBE are displayed for selection in the following step. It is also possible to select a printer that is connected to another HOMAG CUBE at another workstation. However, please take into account the size of the labels inserted in the device. It is a good idea, for example, to use the printer of the productionAssist Cutting for the [materialAssist boards](/v1/docs/en/materialassist-tutorial-erste-schritte) as well. Before using the printer, it is necessary **to select the label size (1)** and **calibrate it (2).** The printout can be verified by issuing a **test label (3**). The orientation can be adjusted if necessary by adjusting the **spacing (4).** ![Auswahl eines Druckers](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-03-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Choosing a Printer ![Konfiguration des Druckers](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-03-01-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Configuring the Printer After setting up the printer, you can choose a label design. 2 different label designs are offered as standard. ![Auswahl der Etikettengröße](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-03-02-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Label size selection > [!TIP] > **Tip:** You can upload your company lodge to [my.tapio.one](https://my.tapio.one) so that it appears on your labels. ![Auswahl des Etikettendesigns](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-03-03-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Label Design Selection ## Step 5: Complete the configuration Once all the steps have been completed, the configuration is complete and the workstation is ready to use. ![Abschließen der Konfiguration](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/productionAssist-Cutting-Configuration-04-de.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A08Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A08Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=vBlS9S17p6CkpedUhmVsV%2FeufCOjdykwP2%2Fw4u%2FhGFk%3D) Completing the configuration > [!TIP] > **Tip**: The configuration can be restarted at any time by clicking on the **configuration icon** .
