Label printer
This printer can be used to print generic labels for things using a little web print server. Also it will print a 'Do Not Hack' sticker for you if you hold your membership card/fob up to the base for a second. Be patient, it could take a few seconds to start printing.
Please don't mess with this or turn it off/unplug it to charge your phone etc.
This is also used to print the IDs of cards for new members so will read other RFID items but be aware that it does not generate the full RFID ID just the munged version used by our membership system, which isn't useful for much else.
