How does the badge printer work?

Supported printer models

Adding a badge printer

Linking the printer to iPad

The badge printer works with the iPad to provide instant, automatically printed visitor badges. When a visitor checks in through the iPad, the visit details are sent directly to the printer over an internet connection (the printer and the iPad should be able to communicate with each other) which “receives” the signal from the iPad and the badge will print instantaneously.

Currently, Genea supports the following printer model numbers with Visitor Management System:

Follow the steps below to map your printer with your Genea Visitor Management system.
