Previewing and Printing Badges

The Badge - Preview and Print window allows you to preview a badge layout with card information (if the badge layout is associated with a card) or with default values (if the template is not yet associated with a particular card). The program permits you to print single or double sided badges.

  1. From the Card, Visitor or Daypass window, click the Preview badge button.
    Note: From the Badge design window, the preview option allows you to view a badge with default values since there is no card associated with it.
  2. From the Badge - Preview and Print window, choose a printing option:
    • Print front side: only the front side (preview in the left-hand pane) is printed.
    • Print back side: Only the back side (preview in the right-hand pane) is printed. This button is enabled only when the badge is defined with two sides.
    • Print both sides: The front and back side are printed. This button is enabled only when the badge is defined with two sides.
      Important: In order to print badges with bar codes, your printer has to be properly set. You have to select the “black resin” option, otherwise, bar code readers may not detect the bar code. If you have problems with bar code printing or reading, refer to your printer manufacturer’s manual.
