🛠️ Initial Setup

Click the arrow to learn how to turn on sticker printing

Sticker Printing is an optional feature that must be turned on through the Integrations & Add-Ons page.

Click the Get Started button to enable the feature. A slide out window will appear to Enable Remote Printing.
PrintNode account details will automatically be created for each Dash account. The email from the "Company Settings < Member App, Online Support will be used. This can be adjusted if needed. If you decide to change the email, simply click inside the email section and type in the email address you would prefer. The password will auto generate again.

⚠️ Important: Each computer that will print stickers must have PrintNode installed and configured.

Hardware & Label Specs:

Use a direct thermal label printer that supports 2-1/4 × 1-1/4 inch labels.
In testing, the Zebra LP 2824 Plus printer was used successfully.
Install the printer and label roll per the manufacturer’s instructions, then set the printer as your system default.

💡 Tip: Choosing the exact label size ensures alignment and prevents blank or offset prints.

🔗 Linking Dash & PrintNode

⚠️ If you are installing a Zebra sticker/wristband printer, you will first need to install it's drivers from their website.

Click the arrow to learn how to link Dash with PrintNode

⚠️ Important: Do not install PrintNode as a Windows Service.

Now you’ll need to make sure you have setup your receipt printer with a computer at your location. This usually means installing some drivers. If you have already been using this printer normally, you should be able to skip this step.
Install the PrintNode application on the computer where your printer is attached.
Once installed, the client should open to the login prompt. If not, you can find the application in the Windows system tray in the bottom right. Right-clicking the icon in the tray will give you the option to open the application again (you won’t need to interact with the application once you have setup the machine).
Login to the PrintNode Application with your Dash provided credentials provided on the Integrations & Add-Ons page.
- In the printers tab, you will find all printers with detected drivers. This allows you to ensure the communication between Print Node and the printer is working properly.
Next, we can configure the printer within the Integrations & Add-ons setup page. You will need your printer ID from the PrintNode application’s printer tab.
- In the Printer section, you’ll define your printers with names, locations, and Printer Id's. If you are setting up a "Sticker printer" then you would add that as the printer's purpose.
Above the printers' list table is where you can set the Sticker printing orientation and margin settings so that you can have images appear on the stickers.
Once you’ve hit the green "Save Settings" button you're ready to go.

Example of a printed sticker:

🧩 How

Once configured, Dash communicates with PrintNode whenever a sticker print event occurs (such as when a participant is checked in).

Each sticker automatically pulls the participant’s name, program, and other defined data fields from your check-in setup.
