Find a supported printer your organization is comfortable using that meets the price point and functionality needed to run Check-In well. Then, configure with the proper label type and drivers.
Warning: Check-In label printing will NOT work with Chromebooks (Chrome OS computers)
Supported Printers
- Brother QL-700 / QL-710W / QL-720NW
- Brother QL-800 / QL-810W / QL-820NWB (*Bluetooth on this model not supported by ChMS)
- Dymo 450
- GoDex DT4 and DT4x
Pro Tip: Brother Wireless Printers are recommended, particularly the QL-810W. Here's why:
- ONLY the 810W or 820nwb will work with the iPad Check-In App (iOS). (An iPad only connects to a WiFi-enabled printer).
- It includes a label cutter rather than perforated tear-away labels, which tend to get misaligned when pulled too hard.
- The 810W costs less than the 820nwb.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A requirement for Brother printers is the continuous length label roll - item number DK-2205.
*(The labels included in the box are not DK-2205 when purchasing a new Brother Printer. The correct labels must be purchased separately).

Configure Check-in Settings in your ChMS database
Normally, iPad check-in (via the check-in app) does not require choosing a check-in station. If no check-in station is chosen, the user can check into any group that allows check-in. If a check-in station is selected, the iPad Check-in app will honor all Station settings (i.e., only allow members to check into groups they are a member of, restricting check-in to groups with a certain property, etc.) Additionally, it is advised that there be a Station for each mobile device, especially when using Android devices.
