You can assign a badge colour to each visitor category. Built-in categories include Visitor, Contractor, Guest, and Staff. Enter a 3- or 6-digit hex colour (for example,#1D4ED8) and select Save for each row.
Save your settings
Select Save settings to apply the facility-level badge configuration. A confirmation reads “Badge printing settings saved”.Facility settings vs. the kiosk’s Badge printing enabled toggle
Facility-level badge settings and the per-gate kiosk toggle are separate. The kiosk modal’s Badge printing enabled checkbox (in Gates > Kiosk) tells that specific kiosk to present badge printing as an available capability. It does not select a printing mode or enable badge generation on its own; the facility-level Printing mode and its switches control whether badges are generated and printed.When automatic printing happens
A badge is attempted after a kiosk registration produces an issued result, and a badge is saved even when automatic printing is off. A print job is queued only when Auto-print after successful check-in is enabled and the printing mode is Kiosk printing or Reception / Admin printing. A badge-generation failure does not block visitor registration; it is logged and returns no badge. On the kiosk pass screen, visitors see “Your visitor badge is printing”, then “Please collect your badge”, with a Print badge button and a Done button to finish.What’s next
- Review the visitor badge history page to see printed and reprinted badges and troubleshoot any that failed to print.
- See troubleshoot kiosk pairing and badge printing for common print failures.
