Create a station in the BizPrint dashboard

This page shows you how to create a station in the BizPrint dashboard. It is for merchants and staff setting up the BizPrint desktop app on a computer or the BizPrint Android app on a phone, tablet or Sunmi POS device.

A station is the computer or Android device that is connected to your printers. Every print job goes to a station, and the station prints it. You need a station before you can connect an app and print.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • Have a BizPrint account. If you do not have one yet, follow Create your BizPrint account.
  • Decide what to call the station. A name that tells you where the printer is works well, for example “Front counter” or “Kitchen”.

Create the station

Section titled “Create the station”
  1. Sign in to the BizPrint dashboard in your web browser.
  2. Click Stations in the menu. The My Stations list opens.
  3. Click the plus icon next to the My Stations heading. The Create Station screen opens.
  4. Type a name in the Name: field.
  5. Click Create.

The dashboard opens the page for your new station. It shows the station name, its Public Key and Secret Key, and a Printers list.

You can also reach the Create Station screen from the dashboard home page: click the + button on the Stations tile.

What you see on the station page

Section titled “What you see on the station page”
  • Public Key and Secret Key. Each has a copy button. These are the station’s keys. You paste them into the BizPrint app to connect it.
  • Printers. The list is empty at first and says there are no active printers connected to this station yet. Printers appear here after a BizPrint app connects to the station. You never add printers in the dashboard.
