Manage stations and their printers in the BizPrint dashboard

This page shows you how to view and change your stations in the BizPrint dashboard. It is for merchants and staff who use the BizPrint desktop app or the BizPrint Android app on a station. To make a new station, see Create a station in the BizPrint dashboard.

See your stations

Sign in to the BizPrint dashboard.
Click Stations in the menu. The My Stations list opens.

The list has a Stations column with each station’s name and a Printers column. The Printers number counts the printers that the station reported the last time it connected. It does not show whether the station is connected right now. If you have no stations, the list says “There are no stations created yet”. Click the + at the top of the page to create one.

Open a station

Click a station’s name in the My Stations list. The Station page opens. It has:

A Name box.
Display on Station (see Choose what the station app shows).
The station’s Public Key and Secret Key.
Get BizPrint app and How to setup buttons, which open the BizPrint quick start guide in a new tab.
A Printers list.

Rename a station

Open the station, as described in Open a station.
Type the new name in the Name box.
Click Update next to Name.

The new name shows in the dashboard and is recorded in your Activity feed. See Use the Activity feed and pin printers in the BizPrint dashboard.

Choose what the station app shows

This option applies only to the BizPrint desktop app. Display on Station controls what the desktop app on the station shows about your usage. The BizPrint Android app does not show these details. It has three choices:

Analytics and Plan details
Station Analytics only
No Analytics

To change it:

Open the station.
Choose an option in Display on Station.
Click Update next to Display on Station.

If the option does not seem to change what the app shows, make sure the desktop app is up to date and that it is connected, then contact BizPrint support. This option only changes what the app displays. It does not change printing.

Keys

The Public Key and Secret Key connect the BizPrint app to this station. Click the copy button next to a key to copy it. Treat the Secret Key like a password: do not email it, post it in a chat, or put it in a web page. Use these keys only to connect the BizPrint app. See Keep your BizPrint Public Key and Secret Key safe.

See a station’s printers

The Printers list on the Station page shows the printers the station has reported. A printer the station reported before stays in the list even when it is offline or no longer connected. If the station has never reported a printer, the list says “There are no active printers connected to this station yet”. Printers are never added in the dashboard. The BizPrint app on the station reports them. For help, see Add a printer to the BizPrint desktop app.

Click a printer’s name to open its Print Jobs page. See View print jobs and their status in the BizPrint dashboard.

Delete a station

Delete a station only if you no longer use it. A deleted station cannot be brought back.

Look at each printer on this station for paper and for printouts that are still coming out.
Check the status of recent jobs on each printer’s Print Jobs page.
Wait for the station to finish anything it is still printing.
Open the station.
Click the delete (bin) button at the top right of the Station page. You can also use the delete button at the end of the station’s row in My Stations.
Confirm when the dashboard asks “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this station?”.

Deleting a station also appears in your Activity feed. In print analytics, a deleted station is marked “This station was deleted.” See View print analytics in the BizPrint dashboard.
