Go to the admin panel in Meeting Application - https://admin.meetingapplication.com/ and pick your event.
Go to the Create/ Access/ Access Configuration section.
Make sure the “Optional: Event with tickets” button is turned on.
Next, go to the “Badges” section and click the “Enabled” button under “Basic settings” to start editing.
Optionally, you can turn off the “Automatic printing” button, so scanning tickets doesn't automatically print a badge for that participant.
Leave the “Device Name” section unchanged.
In the “Badge size” section, you'll see the size of the printed badge: 38x90 millimeters. Make sure the tape size in the printer, and the one set in the admin panel, are the same (number on the tape roll 208).
Below, you'll find extra settings for badge content - which sections should get printed and which ones shouldn't. You can also adjust the font size and thickness for each of them. Plus, you can add a custom “Top text” above and “Bottom text” below the participant details section. These texts will be the same for all participants.
When you're done editing, click “Save changes” at the bottom of the page.
Go back to the Access Configuration section and scroll to the bottom of the page to click “Save and continue”.
Open the printer dome and make sure there's a paper tape inside, with its end inserted into the printing section, as shown in the photo:
The end of the tape shouldn't stick out on the other side, though. The tape in the printer has its size written on the sticker on the side of the spool - make sure the size on the side of the spool is 38×90mm (208 on the tape roll).
Close the dome and plug the printer into power.
Turn the printer on with the power button - the first one on the left side of the button panel. You need to hold it for two seconds.
Click the Menu button, then use the arrows to choose WLAN. In the submenu, choose WLAN (on/off) and change the answer to On, then click OK.
Choose WLAN again by clicking OK then pick Infra Manual Setting, which will open a menu with available wifi networks. Pick the network both the printer and your device (tablet or phone) that's used to scan tickets will use. After picking the network, enter its password.
Once you're connected to the network, in the WLAN menu choose WLAN Status, then Infrastructure mode and note the printer's IP Address - you'll need it later.
Click the “Back” button (the arrow with a curl) twice to return to the Menu.
Use the arrows to choose Bluetooth. In the submenu choose Bluetooth (on/off) and change the answer to On, then click OK.
Pick Bluetooth again by clicking OK, then pick Bluetooth Status and note the MAC address - you'll need it later.
Click the “Back” button (the arrow with a curl) three times to get back to the start screen on the printer.
Make sure that the connected device for scanning (Android tablet or phone) is hooked up to the same wifi network. Launch the Meeting Application app on it and log into the event using an admin account.
At the top of the event menu, pick Admin Component, and in the menu that pops up click Event Check-in.
Then pick the Scan QR Code button and allow the app to use your device’s camera.
Click the gear icon in the top left corner to bring up Check-in Settings. Here you need to enter the IP address of the printer that’ll print name badges based on tickets scanned by this device, and the Bluetooth channel (type the MAC address here).
To make sure everything is connected properly, on the same screen click Print test badge.
In the Admin Component module, click Event Check-in.
Then select the Scan QR code button and point it at the participant’s QR code. This can be a ticket QR code or a personal participant QR code. If the ticket is linked to the account, the badge will be printed.
On the scanning device, in the Admin Component module, click Event Check-in.
Find the participant on the list or search for them by last name or email address.
Choose the plus icon on the right. If the ticket is linked to the account, the badge will be printed.
Have a great event with Meeting Application!
