- The second message says "DeviceHub is successfully registered. Your printer and scale are now connected."
- The first message says "Registering DeviceHub to your computer... This will take a few moments."
- After the second message disappears, wait a few moments. After a brief time, the list of printers and scales should be displayed on the My Devices page.
