Set up an iPad to print on a Dymo or TEMPbadge USB printer

Dymo 450 and TEMPbadge BP4 printers are not iOS AirPrint compatible and must be connected by USB. If you have either of these printers and are using an iPad, you'll need to set up your kiosk to print through a computer that's connected to the printer. 

Before you start

Before you start, make sure you have: 

1. Created a badge pass template
2. Installed your printer on your Receptionist’s PC
3. Added two sign in/out kiosks in OnLocation - an iPad kiosk and a desktop PC kiosk 
4. Logged into your desktop kiosk on your receptionist's PC and kept the browser open
5. Installed OnLocation Kiosk on your iPad and logged into the kiosk

Set up your kiosk

Step 1: Update your kiosk settings in OnLocation

Check that your print sharing settings have been configured as follows: 

1. Go to Locations, then select your location from the drop-down menu.
2. Select Sign In/Out Kiosks.
3. Click View next to the iPad kiosk. 
4. Click on the Printing tab, then clear the checkbox next to Enable Kiosk Print Sharing.
5. Click Save.
6. Click View next to the desktop kiosk. 
7. Click on the Printing tab, then select the checkbox next to Enable Kiosk Print Sharing.

Step 2: Update your settings on your iPad

1. On your iPad, open OnLocation Kiosk.
