How to set up and use a Fredo name badge printer
How to connect the Fredo printer to your event? Easy! Just follow these few steps:
- Log into your Fredo dashboard on your PC/laptop and find your event.
- Find and note down your 7-digit PIN on the event page overview.
- Grab a check-in device (phone) and open the Fredo app. The check-in devices are located inside the printer boxes. There is one phone per printer.
- Input the 7-digit PIN you recorded in Step 2.
Congrats - the app is now connected to your event.
Now, follow these steps to connect the check-in device to the printer:
- Open the printer’s hatch and confirm that a label roll is properly loaded.
- Turn on the printer by pressing and holding the power button in the upper left corner until it lights up.
- Inside each printer box, you'll find a black cable approximately 2 meters long.
- Plug one end of the cable into the back of the printer. The port is located next to the charging port
- Connect the other end of the cable to your check-in device.
- Open the Fredo app on your Fredo phone and tap the camera icon “scan” in the lower right corner.
- Scan the QR code on the front of the printer in order to pair it.
- Once successfully paired, a green bar will appear at the top of the screen with the message: “CABLE PRINTER CONNECTED.”
- Check in via the app by either searching for the person's name under "Attendee list" or by scanning the ticket QR code under "Scan”.
OBS the printer and check-in device can last for 6 hours without the charger connected.
