Use the KidCheck ExpressHub to process Express Check-Ins and print from a mobile check-in station to a label printer.

Note: While the ExpressHub 4 is the newest in the product line, if you are setting up a KidCheck PrintHub 3, instructions are found here.

Initial Setup

  1. Remove the ExpressHub from the box and plug it into power.
  2. Wait for it load (it should take about a minute).
  3. Once on the Home screen (it says Complete Your Express Check-In Here), tap the gear-icon in the upper left.
  4. Input the configuration password included in the Quick Start Guide with the ExpressHub or found in your ExpressHub Settings page. (Once entered, you will be taken to the ExpressHub’s Dashboard.)
  5. Tap the box with 1 Internet to set up the ExpressHub on Wifi (if you plan to run it on Ethernet and have it plugged into an active Ethernet connection, you can skip this step). Once connected, you’ll return to the Dashboard screen.
  6. Tap the box with 2 Registration to register the ExpressHub to your organization. Upon successful registration you’ll return to the Dashboard screen.
  7. If you plan to use the ExpressHub for Express Check-In, tap 3 License to enable it to process Express Check-Ins. (If you do not have a license available, contact KidCheck to add one or log into go.kidcheck.com to deactivate a currently active license and transfer it to your ExpressHub.)

If at any point in the process you get lost or don’t know where to go, you can always tap the Dashboard button in the menu bar to return to the Dashboard.
