Step 2. Choose Your Printer.

We support Dymo printers (Dymo 450 and the Dymo 450 Turbo) and we just released beta support for Brother Printers (Brother QL-800) as well! Please note that our support for Brother printers is still in beta, however, the feedback from our churches about Brother printers has been overwhelmingly positive.

The majority of our churches have told us that they prefer Brother printers as they had less issues jamming and appreciate the fact that tags are automatically cut after printing. After our beta testing is complete in the coming weeks, we will be making Brother our recommended printer brand moving forward.

Please note that you cannot mix and match printer brands.

Notice for Mac users, if you choose to use Kidmin App with MacOS, a Brother printer is required.

Step 3. Internet Connection.

Because Kidmin App is a web based application, we require a reliable internet connection. While this isn't an issue for the vast majority of churches, we did want to make sure to point it out to you!

Optional - Kiosk Stations.

A lot of churches find value in setting up self-serve kiosk stations where guardians can check their kids in without help from someone on your team.

You can run a kiosk station on:

Any desktop computer that already runs Kidmin App (PC, Mac).

Any laptop computer that already runs Kidmin App (PC, Mac).

A tablet based on Windows 7 or newer (we like the "Surface Go" line by Microsoft)

A touchscreen based Windows PC (Windows 7 or newer)

Each kiosk station will require it's own printer.

Please note: At this time, we do not support iPads as kiosk stations because of the printing requirements. However, we are working on a solution to this and we'll have more to share about iPad support soon.
