# Install and pair the Windows app

> Set up Luxima Print Station on a Windows computer.

**Luxima Print Station** turns a Windows computer into a print station. It runs full screen, works with a touch screen, a keyboard or a barcode scanner, and keeps printing when the internet is down.

## What you need

* A computer with Windows 10 or 11 and Microsoft Edge.
* A printer installed in Windows. See [Printers and settings](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/windows-printers-and-settings.md).
* A station code from your LUXIMA admin. See [Print stations](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/print-stations.md).
* An internet connection for the first setup.

You do not need administrator rights to install it.

## Install

**1. Download the installer**

In LUXIMA, open **Print stations**, click **Get the app** and choose **Windows**. The file is called `LuximaPrintStation-` followed by the version and `-setup.exe`.

**2. Run it**

Open the file and follow the steps. The app is installed for the Windows user who is signed in.

**3. Open the app**

Leave **Open Luxima Print Station** ticked on the last screen. The app opens full screen.

The installer adds a **Luxima Print Station** shortcut to the desktop and the Start menu. It also starts the app automatically each time this Windows user signs in.

## Connect to Wi-Fi, if needed

If the computer uses a network cable, skip this. Otherwise click **Wi-Fi** at the top of the pairing screen, pick your network and enter its password. See [Wi-Fi](https://docs.luxima.io/printing/windows-printers-and-settings.md#wi-fi).

## Pair the station

Pairing links this computer 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**

On the **Open your station** screen, type the 6 digits with the on-screen keypad or a keyboard.

**3. Open the station**

Click **Open station**. The station screen opens straight away, and your products and label download in the background. Until they arrive you see "Getting the latest products and label from Luxima…".

The computer stays paired until your admin revokes the station in LUXIMA. There is no log-in and no password for operators.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Pairing belongs to the Windows user. If someone else signs in to Windows on the same computer, they need to pair again.

## If pairing fails

| What you see | What to do |
| - | - |
| The code boxes shake and clear | The code is wrong or older than 15 minutes. Ask your admin for a new one. |
| "Luxima is not reachable - check the network" | The computer is not online. Click **Wi-Fi settings**, or plug in a network cable. |
| "The print station service is not running. Restart the computer." | Restart the computer and open the app again. |

## If the station is revoked

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

The products and labels stored on the computer are removed. Your printer settings are kept.

## Uninstall

Open Windows **Settings**, then **Apps**, find **Luxima Print Station** and uninstall it.
