Questions.
What device does the kiosk need?
Any tablet or laptop with a camera and a browser. For silent printing, start Chrome in kiosk printing mode with the badge printer as the default printer.
Can attendees check in without a QR code?
Yes. They enter the email they registered with and a confirmation code from their ticket.
Can attendees get into the organizer console from the kiosk?
No. The kiosk is limited to check-in and badge printing, and an optional PIN protects the exit.
What happens if a ticket is scanned twice?
The kiosk shows that the attendee is already checked in and offers to reprint the badge.
