Humly Print Service is required to be able to automatically print visitor labels if it’s the option selected for a configured Humly Visitor screen.
Before installing and configuring Humly Print Service make sure you have Humly Control Panel version 1.16 or later installed and set up on a different on-prem server or a Humly Cloud server. Humly Print Service doesn’t support being installed on the same server as Humly Control Panel!
Humly Print Service is supported and can be installed on Windows operating systems (Windows Server 2016-2022, Windows 10-11).
