The Printer Management section of the platform is where you will add all printers which will be used for printing badges onsite as part of the registration stations.
This is a mandatory step in the configuration as the printing process through the Noodle system is enabled and conducted via PrintNode - it allows you to trigger a badge print on a selected printer from any device (laptop / tablet) available onsite.
A mandatory prerequisite for setting up your printers in the platform is having the PrintNode software installed on all the tablets or laptops which will be used onsite to trigger badge prints.
If you are renting hardware through Noodle Live, all the required software and hardware configuration will already be completed prior to delivering the hardware.
In case you are using your own hardware, you will first need to download and install the PrintNode client on your devices.
After you have installed the PrintNode Client on the laptops / tablets and have connected the printers, the next step would be to configure your Printer IDs in the Noodle Live Portal.
For the purpose:
1. On the left-hand side menu, under the Badging & Check-in section, click on Printer Management
2. At the top right corner of the page click on the green "Create" button
3. Enter the Printer Name and Printer PrintNode ID
Printer Name: Make sure to enter a logical reference to your printer name as this is used to differentiate between all connected printers.
Printer ID: Please click here for instructions on how to get the Printer IDs.
5. Once done, click on Save.
6. Repeat the steps to add all your printers to the configuration panel in the portal.
The printers with their relevant details will then be listed on the page:
Once completed, please make sure that the Printer Settings are configured correctly for the type of printer and relevant consumables used onsite.
You are now all set up to start printing badges onsite via the Quick Register Web App.
