Use the Activity feed and pin printers in the BizPrint dashboard

This page shows you how to read the Activity feed in the BizPrint dashboard and how to pin a printer for quick access. It is for merchants and staff, whatever your orders come from: WooCommerce, Shopify, or your own app.

What the Activity feed shows

Section titled “What the Activity feed shows”

The Activity feed is a list of recent changes made to your BizPrint account. Each entry has an icon, a short description, and the date and time it happened, shown in your own time zone. Examples are:

If nothing has happened yet, the feed says “There are no events tracked yet”.

Open the Activity feed

Section titled “Open the Activity feed”
  1. Sign in to the BizPrint dashboard.
  2. Click Activity in the menu. The Activity page opens.

You can also see your five most recent events on the Dashboard home page. Click View Activity Feed under them to open the full page. The feed shows 25 events at a time. Use the page buttons at the bottom to see older ones.

If your account is paused, Activity is switched off until the service is active again.

Pin a printer

Section titled “Pin a printer”

Pin a printer to keep it at the top of the Activity page and on the Dashboard home page.

  1. Click Stations in the menu.
  2. Click the station that the printer belongs to.
  3. Click the printer’s name in the Printers list. The Print Jobs page opens.
  4. Click the pin (thumbtack) icon at the top right of the page.

The dashboard shows “Printer is successfully pinned to the activity feed”. If it cannot pin the printer, it shows “Failed to pin printer to activity feed”. Try again, and contact BizPrint support if it keeps failing.

The pin icon is not shown while your account is paused.

Use a pinned printer

Section titled “Use a pinned printer”

Pinned printers appear under Pinned Printer Logs at the top of the Activity page. Each one shows the printer’s name and its station. Click a pinned printer to open its Print Jobs page, where you can check job statuses. See View print jobs and their status in the BizPrint dashboard.

Before you print anything again from there:

  1. Look at the printer for paper and for printouts that already came out.
  2. Check the job’s status on the Print Jobs page.
  3. Wait for the station to finish anything it is still printing, whatever status the job shows.
  4. Go to WooCommerce > Print Manager in WordPress, if the order came from WooCommerce.
  5. Click the Support tab.
  6. Check Queue Status in Print Job Queue.
  7. Wait for any pending or processing jobs to finish.

Never place an order again or repeat a payment to get a print.

If you have not pinned any printer, the page says “No pinned print logs” and reminds you how to pin one.

Unpin a printer

Section titled “Unpin a printer”
  1. Open the pinned printer from Pinned Printer Logs, or open it from its station.
  2. Click the pin icon again.

The dashboard shows “Printer is successfully unpinned from the activity feed”.
