I believe there is a cutoff one hour before scheduled flight departure time on line; it may be shorter at the kiosks.

b. (nsx) If you have a ticketless reservation, whether paid or using a Rapid Rewards award, you can normally print your own boarding pass at southwest.com starting 24 hours before the departure time of your flight. (It used to be 12:01AM on the date of your flight, in the departure time zone.) You will almost certainly get an "A" this way, if you do it reasonably promptly (with the possible exception of Orlando, which has plenty of larger groups). You get boarding passes for all your outbound segments when you check in, whether online, at a kiosk, or at a counter. Note that you cannot check in online later than 60 minutes before flight time.

g. (nsx) If you don't have a printer, never fear: you can get a replacement boarding pass at a kiosk or from any counter agent at the airport and it will still have the same letter and sequence number, with an “r” appended. If you plan to do this, you may wish to print a Security Document the day before travel so that you may get your replacement boarding pass beyond the security checkpoint to avoid the baggage check-in line. (WN LUVS U) Ability to print a replacement boarding pass at the airport kiosks was available system-wide as of March 30, 2005.

i. (nsx) Kiosks at the airport can print you a boarding pass any time on the day of departure until 20 minutes before departure. If you are passing through the departure airport early in the day, for example on the outbound leg of a day trip, stopping by the kiosk to get your evening boarding pass is a great way to get an A. Another trick is to stop off at the kiosk before parking your car.
