Printing
Which printers you can use, how each one connects, and how to check it with a test print.
Guest designs can print in two ways. Through the Windows Print Server: a Windows PC runs the print server and prints on any printer installed on it, and every device sends its jobs there over Wi-Fi or a cable. Straight from the device: a few small printers (Niimbot receipts, PixCut stickers, Instax film) connect to the tablet or phone by Bluetooth or USB, with no PC needed. Start with your printer type below.
Printer types
Each printer type has its own page with setup steps and answers to common questions.
Windows Print Server
For photo printers, full-page printers, label printers and production printers plugged into a Windows PC. Every device can print to it.
Receipt & label printers (Niimbot)
A small Bluetooth printer next to the kiosk prints a claim ticket or label when a guest submits a design.
Sticker printer (Liene PixCut S1)
Prints and cuts sticker sheets. Bluetooth, USB, or through the print server (Beta).
Instant film (Fujifilm Instax Link)
Mini, Square and Wide film. Bluetooth from the device, or the official Windows driver on the print server for the Link Wide.
Turn printing on for an event
Printers are chosen per event: edit the event and open the Export tab. Niimbot receipt printing turns on the receipt or label printer, and Enable Printer sends each design to a printer on the Windows Print Server or to a Liene PixCut S1. Child events can use their own printer or the parent's.
Open Enable Printer in the Export tab and turn it on. It must be on for the event to print at all; when it is off, no print buttons, autoprint or printing pop-up appear, even if a printer is connected on the device. These settings are saved with the event:
Printer
Pick a printer on the Windows Print Server, the print server default printer, or the Liene PixCut S1 (Beta, no print server needed).
Child event printers
Each child event can use the same printer as the parent event, its own printer, or have printing off.
Enable Autoprint
Prints once by itself as soon as the order is saved. Only for single-sided (front-only) designs.
Maximum prints
How many prints a guest may make of the front and of the back. 1 shows a single print button; more than 1 shows a quantity selector with - and +.
Print buttons
Show the print buttons in the order dialog once the guest presses Done, or turn them off to only autoprint. Set the button position (top or bottom), colors, corner radius and text size.
Button texts
Change the heading, the front and back button texts, and the messages shown while printing, after autoprinting and once the limit is reached. Leave a text empty to use the standard wording.
Print margins (mm)
Moves the print in from each edge, 0 to 50 mm, for fine tuning. Not used by PixCut or Niimbot printers.
Printing pop-up and messages
The pop-up shown over the order dialog and Photo Booth pages while the design prints, then asking the guest to collect it. Change the messages, how long the collect message stays, the size, spinner design, colors and background.
Guest receipts via Bluetooth (Niimbot)
Connect a Niimbot B21 or M2 printer over Bluetooth to print a small receipt automatically when a guest submits a design — their claim ticket, not the product itself. The item they actually ordered prints through the print server below.
Connect
Scan and pair from the Bluetooth dialog; the app reconnects automatically next time on web.
Customize the receipt
Header/footer text, name/email/order#/event name, a QR code, size in mm, and layout — previewed live at true print DPI.
Niimbot receipt printing settingsOn iOS/Android the app uses native Bluetooth instead of the browser, and on desktop apps it goes through a system pairing prompt — either way, reconnect manually if prompted.
Niimbot receipt settings
In the Export tab, under Niimbot receipt printing:
Printer & paper
Choose the printer model (B21 Pro or M2-H) and matching paper type — Gap/Die-cut, Black Mark, Continuous, Transparent, or Black Gap.
Label size & density
Width and height in millimeters, plus print density from Light to Maximum.
Header, footer & QR size
Custom header/footer text and font sizes, and a QR code sized as a percentage of the label.
Receipt contents
Toggle customer name, email, order number, event name, and the QR code on or off individually.
Label image
Upload a JPG or PNG to print alongside the receipt text, converted to the printer's dithered format.
Live preview
Drag the parts of the label in the live preview to place them where you want.
Payment status
Print PAID / UNPAID on the label, or only print labels for paid orders.
Product name
Print the product name on the label.
Receipt printing pop-up
Shown over the order dialog and Photo Booth pages while the receipt prints, then asks the guest to collect it. Only appears when a Niimbot printer is connected.
Connect the printer by Bluetooth, then tap Test print under it in the Niimbot window.
The Niimbot test label is 40 × 30 mm and shows the device, the Bluetooth connection and the printer name. Load labels of at least that size.
How each device and printer connects
Find your device or printer, then open its page. All cable options work without a router or internet.
iPhone / iPad
USB cable (needs iTunes on the PC), or an Ethernet adapter (needs Bonjour on the PC).
Android phone or tablet
USB cable with USB tethering, or a USB-C Ethernet adapter. Nothing extra to install on the PC.
Windows tablet or laptop
Network cable, using the tablet's Ethernet port or a USB Ethernet adapter. A plain USB cable can't link two computers.
Windows app on the print server PC
Nothing to connect. The app finds the print server on the same computer, with Wi-Fi off and no cables.
Liene PixCut S1 sticker printer
Prints straight from the device by Bluetooth or USB, or (Beta) through the print server when it is plugged into the print server PC by USB.
Fujifilm Instax Link printer
Prints instant film straight from the device by Bluetooth (iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows apps). It does not use the print server.
Instax Link Wide / Link Wide 2 (recommended)
Install Fujifilm's official Windows driver on the print server PC and print to it like any other printer, from every device.
Check it with a test photo
Every printer type has a test button. The test photo or label shows which device sent it, the connection used and the printer, so you know exactly which path works.
Print server
Open the print server window, connect to the server, then tap Print test photo under it. It prints on the PC's default printer.
PixCut S1
Pair or plug in the printer, then tap Print test photo in the PixCut section.
Niimbot label printer
Connect the printer by Bluetooth, then tap Test print under it in the Niimbot window.
Instax Link
Connect the printer, then tap Test print in the Instax section.
