Click the gear icon at the top right of the station screen to open settings. Click Save when you have changed something.

Choose the printer

Under Printer you see every printer installed in Windows for this user, plus Save as PDF (test). Tap the one to use.
  • Any printer that works in Windows works here, whether it is a label printer or an office printer, connected by USB or over the network.
  • Labels go straight to the printer. There is no print dialog.
  • If your printer is missing, install it in Windows first, then close and reopen settings.
Save as PDF (test) is selected until you choose a printer. It saves each job as a PDF instead of printing, which is handy for checking a label before you load expensive stock.

Choose the layout

Label printers: set the paper size

For One label per page, the paper size in the printer’s Windows driver must match the label. Open the printer’s Printing preferences in Windows and set the paper (or stock) size to your label’s width and height. If labels print shifted, cut off or at the wrong size, this setting is almost always the cause.

Sheets: when a label does not fit

“The label is larger than the sheet” means the label is bigger than A4 or Letter allows. Use a label printer for that label.

Wi-Fi

Under Network you see whether the computer is connected and whether it can reach LUXIMA. Click Wi-Fi settings to change network.
1

Find your network

Click Look for networks and tap yours. For a hidden network, click Other network… and type its name.
2

Enter the password

Type the password and click Connect. Connecting can take 20 seconds.
Windows remembers the network and reconnects after a restart. A network cable works too: plug it in and the station uses it automatically.

Sync

The station checks LUXIMA about once a minute for new products, changed labels and settings. The top bar shows when it last synced. To sync at once, open settings and click Sync now. Do this after an admin changes a label or adds products you need right away.

Updates

The app updates itself. It checks regularly, downloads the new version, and installs it when no job is printing and the screen has not been touched for 10 minutes. Then it restarts by itself. Under Version in settings you see the current state:
  • “Up to date”, with Check for updates.
  • “Update … is ready. It installs by itself when the station is not in use.”, with Install now if you do not want to wait.

Station details

The Station section shows the station’s name, your company, how many labels were printed today and how many products are stored on this computer. The name is set in LUXIMA. To rename a station or change its label, see Print stations.

Full screen and start-up

  • The app always runs full screen.
  • It starts by itself when this Windows user signs in.
  • To close the screen, press Alt+F4. Open it again from the Luxima Print Station shortcut on the desktop.
After 10 minutes without use, the screen goes back to an empty search, ready for the next person.
