Configuring Printers: Renaming a Printer

Before you start

Printers are assigned at the district level and are already assigned to your school.

This guide only shows you how to rename a printer so it is easy to recognize in Circool.

Step 1: Open Hardware settings

1. Log in to Circool.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Hardware.

Step 2: Find the printer you want to rename

In the Label Printers list, find the printer you want to rename.

Choose a name that makes the printer easy to recognize. Good examples include:

• Front Office
• Linda’s Desk
• Main Entrance
• Hallway Kiosk

Step 3: Rename the printer

1. Click into the printer name field.
2. Type the new printer name.
3. Click the checkmark to save the new name.

Helpful tips

• Keep names simple: Choose names your front desk team will recognize quickly.
• Use location-based names: Names like Front Office or Hallway Kiosk are usually easiest.
• Rename printers after they move: If a printer is relocated, update the name so staff do not select the wrong one.
• Contact IT for new printers: Printer setup and assignment are handled at the district level.

What happens next

After the printer is renamed, the updated name will appear in Circool when staff select or manage printers.

This makes it easier for your team to choose the correct printer for guest badges, hall passes, or kiosk printing.
