# Print stations

> Create print stations, pair devices with a code, and manage them.

A print station is a place where labels are printed. **Print stations** in the menu is where you create them, see whether they are online, and control which label each one prints.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Owners, Admins and Editors can manage print stations.

## What the page shows

At the top:

* **Active stations:** how many of your stations are in use.
* **Printed today:** the number of labels printed.
* **Label in use:** your company default label.
* **Catalogue on stations:** how many products the stations hold, and when they last synced.

Then a row for each station:

| Column | Shows |
| - | - |
| **Station** | Its name, and who created it and when. |
| **Status** | **Online**, **Offline**, **Not paired yet** or **Revoked**. |
| **Device / printer** | The device, its printer and the printer's state, when it was last seen, and the app version. |
| **Label design** | The design this station prints. |
| **Pairing** | Whether a code is waiting, and when the station was paired. |
| **Printed (30 d)** | Labels printed in the last 30 days. |

The **In-browser printer** is always in the list. It needs no pairing and cannot be removed. Click **Open** to print from it. See [Print from the browser](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/print-from-the-browser.md).

## Create a station

**1. Add it**

Click the button to add a station. Give it a name the team will recognise, such as "Sewing line A".

**2. Choose its label**

Under **Label design**, leave it on the company default or pick a design.

**3. Create**

Click **Create station**. LUXIMA shows a **one-time station code** of 6 digits.

**4. Pair the device**

On the device, open the app and type the code. See [Windows](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/windows-install-and-pair.md) or [mobile](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/mobile-install-and-pair.md).

### About the code

* It works once and expires after 15 minutes. A countdown shows the time left.
* Click **Copy code** to send it to the person at the device.
* If it expires, click **Generate new code**. Older unused codes stop working.

The person at the device does not need a LUXIMA log-in. A paired station can only see your products and its label, and can only search and print.

## Get the apps

Click **Get the app** on the Print stations page to download the Windows installer. For phones and tablets, install **LUXIMA Print** from the App Store or Google Play.

## Change a station

| Action | How | What happens |
| - | - | - |
| **Rename** | Click **Rename**. | The new name shows on the device after its next sync. |
| **Change its label** | Pick a design in the **Label design** dropdown. | The station prints it from its next sync. |
| **New code** | Click **New code** on a station that is not paired or was revoked. | You get a fresh code to pair a device. |
| **Revoke** | Click **Revoke**. | The device stops printing at its next check-in and forgets your products. This cannot be undone, but you can pair the device again with a new code. |
| **Delete** | Click **Delete** on a revoked station. | The station leaves the list. Its printed labels stay in your counts. |

> [!TIP]
>
> Revoke a station when a device is lost, replaced or handed to someone else.

## Status

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Online** | The device checked in within the last 2 minutes. |
| **Offline** | The device has not checked in recently. It may be switched off or without internet. Stations keep printing offline and report their labels when they are back. |
| **Not paired yet** | A code was created but no device has used it. |
| **Revoked** | The station was revoked. |

## Keeping apps up to date

The **Device / printer** column shows each station's app version, and whether an update is on its way. The Windows app updates by itself. The mobile app updates through the App Store or Google Play.
