Because FellowshipOne Check-In on iOS can communicate with different models of Zebra printers, initial configuration must take place to ensure tags are aligned when printing. The process is the same as sending a new church logo, for check-in, to the printer.
As of March 2022 – Due to the unreliability of Bluetooth we are no longer recommending the use of Bluetooth for iOS Check-In printing. Bluetooth printing can potentially work with iOS Check-In under optimal circumstances but are not currently supported by FellowshipOne. Check here for recommended printers.
