Do we need
to purchase a label printer before we try School
Check IN?
No,
you
can try School Check IN with any printer.
However, the output will not be a label. The
printed output will print in a corner of a standard
sheet of paper.
Why do we need a label
printer?
To
print ID Badges (peel & stick labels)
or Passes (continuous paper), a label printer is required. School Check IN application is designed and works ONLY with the custom labels sold through School Check IN.
Can we turn off the label printer function?
Yes,
you can disable (turn off) printer function for
all or any individual function.
Can we print labels using
a different label printer?
SchoolCheckIN
was designed to print to only using the Dymo LabelWriters Printers (models 450, 400 and 330). School Check IN is only certified to work with the Dymo Labelwriter printers. We selected the Dymo LabelWriter Printers because of its price, ability to print large
labels, low cost for supplies (labels), ease of
configuration and simplicity in use.
Can we print different
labels to two (2) label printers?
Yes,
SchoolCheck
IN
Version 6 can print to TWO different
LabelWriters.
One printer may be selected
for ID Badges (peel & stick labels) and the
second printer for Passes (continuous paper) Once
set, it's automatic.
To print using
TWO (2) LabelWriters requires either a computer
with two (2) USB ports or a USB Hub. One printer
is used for printing Passes (late/tady passes and
Early Dismissal slips). The second printer
is used to print ID Badges for volunteers, visitors
and substitutes.

Which Label Should You Use?
If you
are using School Check IN to print ID Badges,
we recommend the peel & stick labels. ID
Badges are available in either WHITE or NEON
YELLOW or HOT PINK . For Passes, (Student
Late/Tardy Passes or Early Parent Dismissal
Receipts) use the continuous paper.
Continuous white paper is less expensive
than peel and stick labels
Label Printer Configuration:
The
LabelWriter supports a USB connection.
Setting up and configuration instructions are available from our web site.
Dymo Printers.
School
Check IN only requires the LabelWriter printer
drivers and does not use the label printing
software
Some insight we gained while installing
and testing LabelWriter were:
- DO NOT connect the USB cable until the installation onscreen instructions request that the USB cable be connected.
- If you are using the LabelWriter
to print labels, you must ALWAYS
make your default printer.
What
type of printer connection is required?
The
LabelWriter uses a USB connection with your
computer. USB printer configurations are generally
very simple and easy to install. School
Check IN
was tested only using 's USB connection.
What type of
printer(s) are required to print reports?
Reports
can be printed to any standard (laser or inkjet)
printer using 8.5" x 11" paper.
Can we print
reports to a network printer?
Yes,
printing to an attached network printer should function
properly, provided your computer and network printer
are properly configured. Check with your network
administrator for proper configuration settings.
When printing reports, a dialog box will appear
allowing you to select your report printer.
