# Install and pair the mobile app

> Set up LUXIMA Print on an iPhone, iPad or Android device.

**LUXIMA Print** turns a phone or tablet into a print station. You find a product by searching or by scanning its barcode with the camera, and print its label on a nearby printer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It keeps working when the internet is down.

## What you need

* An iPhone or iPad with iOS 15 or later, or an Android phone or tablet with Android 7 or later.
* A LUXIMA account with the label printing add-on.
* A station code from your LUXIMA admin. See [Print stations](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/print-stations.md).
* A printer. See [Printers on mobile](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/mobile-printers.md).

The app is free. Operators do not need a LUXIMA log-in, only the station code.

## Install

Install **LUXIMA Print** from the App Store on iPhone and iPad, or from Google Play on Android.

> [!NOTE]
>
> LUXIMA Print is being rolled out to the App Store and Google Play. If you cannot find it yet, contact the LUXIMA team.

## Pair the station

Pairing links this device to one station in your LUXIMA account. You do it once.

**1. Get a code**

Your LUXIMA admin creates a station under **Print stations**. LUXIMA shows a one-time code of 6 digits, valid for 15 minutes.

**2. Enter it**

Open the app. On the **Open your station** screen, type the 6 digits. You can also paste the code.

**3. Wait for your products**

The station opens as soon as you type the last digit. Your products and label download in the background. Until they arrive you see "Getting your products and label from Luxima…".

The device stays paired until your admin revokes the station, or until you unpair it in the app.

## Permissions the app asks for

The app asks for each of these the first time it needs it.

| Permission | Why |
| - | - |
| **Camera** | To scan product barcodes and QR codes. |
| **Bluetooth** (on Android: "Nearby devices") | To find and print to Bluetooth label printers. |
| **Local network** (iPhone and iPad) | To find and print to printers on your Wi-Fi network. |
| **NFC** | To connect to a Zebra printer by tapping it. |
| **Location** (Android 11 and older only) | Android requires it to look for Bluetooth devices. The app does not read your position. |

If you said no to one of these and need it later, turn it on for LUXIMA Print in your device's settings.

## If pairing fails

| Message | What to do |
| - | - |
| "That code is not right. Check it and try again." | Retype the code. |
| A message about the code being expired or used | Codes work once and for 15 minutes. Ask your admin for a new one. |
| "Luxima is not reachable - check the network" | Connect the device to Wi-Fi or mobile data and try again. |

## Unpair

To stop using a device as a station, open settings (the gear icon), scroll to **Unpair this station** and tap **Unpair**.

This removes the copy of your products from the device. Printer settings are kept. To use the device again, you need a new code from your admin.

## If the station is revoked

When an admin revokes the station in LUXIMA, the app returns to the pairing screen and says "This station was revoked in Luxima. Ask your admin for a new code."

## Updates

When a new version is out, a banner says "Version ... is available". Printing keeps working in the meantime.

* **iPhone and iPad:** tap **Update** to open the App Store.
* **Android:** tap **Update**. Google Play downloads it in the background, and it installs when the station has been idle for a while. Tap **Restart now** if you do not want to wait.
