Updated over a month ago

Overview

The e-Reception Book allows you to print visitor badges, including your company logo, visitor name, and other contact details.

Before starting the below, please ensure your printer is connected to the same WiFi as the iPad; you can find a user manual for our supported printer below.

e-Reception Book supports the following label printer:

  • Brother QL-820NWB (Bluetooth & IP printing) (User Manual)

    • with standard label size as 62mm x 100mm

Please follow the steps below to connect e-Reception Book and start using a label printer if you wish to use label printing.

Enabling Label Printing

To begin the setup process, start by enabling label printing on the e-Reception Book dashboard. Please follow the steps provided below:

Connecting the Printer

By Bluetooth

Bluetooth allows for wireless printing between an Apple device, such as iPhone, iPad, or Mac, to an enabled printer.

By IP Printing

If you would like to pair your label printer to the e-Reception Book through IP Address, please follow the steps provided below:

Once you have done the steps in the IP Address video, please continue with the following steps:

Once you have done this, click "Device Refresh" in the top right corner of the dashboard.

Once you have completed the steps above, you will see a white printer icon in the top left of your screen on the iPad (see image below). This shows that the printer is connected to your e-Reception Book and can now be used.

We recommend pairing your label printer through IP Address for a secure connection and to avoid signal loss between the label printer and iPad.

Once you have created labels for your visitors to use when checking in, you have the option to allocate different labels to different categories. If you would like to do this, please follow the steps we have provided below:

Create or use the Default label
