The Badge Kiosk is a program that accepts a registrant's information and prints their badge. The program is a Windows executable and you may choose to use a regular computer or one with a touch screen for attendees to interact with. NOTE: JL Systems does not provide any hardware for this process.
The screen below is an example, where an attendee and enter their name or their Contact ID from the AMS. NOTE: if you have provided your attendee with a bar code or QR code that contains their Contact ID, you can configure a scanner to read that into the field on the screen and add an enter key stroke to do the search.
If more than one registrant is found, a grid is shown so that the attendee and select the badge they want to print.
If a registrant can't be found by the entered name, a blank grid is shown. If a Contact ID that can't be found is entered, an error message is shown.
Once an attendee is selected, or only one registrant is found, the badge will print, and a note shown on the screen while printing.
The badge printed is the standard AMS badge configured and selected with the registration hotkey used. NOTE: JL Systems does not provide the badge printer or badge stock.
