We’re updating this article. Some screenshots or names may look older than what you see in the product.
The pass printer most commonly used with dwellingLIVE is the Zebra GK420t. It is recommended that the Zebra GK420t is used with dwellingLIVE, as it is the only printer that will be supported by Frontsteps.
If the computer in use is not a dwellingLIVE App Station, then the printer can be set up by anyone. Otherwise, please contact support for assistance by calling 800-992-4384 (select option 1 for support, then 1 again for Security) or email [email protected].
