Printing Badges at Home (For Attendees)
Note for the event organizer: Share these instructions with your attendees to help them print their badges successfully.
Hardware Setup (for Attendees)
Attendees should ensure their printer is properly configured:
- Connect a standard laser or inkjet printer to their computer
- Install all necessary printer drivers
- Open printer preferences and set the default paper size to match the badge format
- Typically A4 or US Letter, depending on your event's configuration
Once the printer is set up, open its printing preferences and set the default paper size to match your desired badge format — typically A4 or US Letter.

Printing the Badge
When the print dialog window opens:

Best Practices for Print-at-Home Badges
- Clear instructions: Send detailed printing instructions in confirmation emails
- Early communication: Remind attendees to print badges several days before the event
- Backup plan: Maintain an on-site printing station for attendees who forget or are unable to print at home
- QR code size: Ensure QR codes are large enough (minimum 2 × 2 cm) for reliable scanning
- Mobile access: Consider offering digital badges as an alternative for attendees without printer access
