Expo Pass prepares your iPad kiosks, printers, and router before they ship, so you receive equipment that’s pre-configured, tested, and ready to use.

However, if you:

  • Are hosting multiple back-to-back events, or

  • Are using your own equipment,

...you’ll need to walk through a few setup steps yourself. This guide outlines the essential actions to ensure a smooth onsite badge printing experience.


What You’ll Need to Do

To run your badge printing setup efficiently, follow these 3 key steps:

1. Build Equipment Lanes

Each "Lane" typically consists of:

  • 2 iPads

  • 1 Printer

You’ll assign the appropriate printer and badge template(s) to each Lane so devices communicate correctly.


2. Assign Badge Templates

Once Lanes are created, determine:

  • Which badge design(s) should be printed by each printer

  • Ensure all badge templates assigned to the same printer use the same base artwork


3. Configure iPad Kiosk Settings

After Lanes are built and badge templates assigned, configure each iPad individually.

You’ll define:

  • Which Lane it connects to

  • Which functions are enabled (e.g., Attendee Check-In, Registration, QR Code Check-In)


Need More Kiosk Features?

If you're looking to do more than just basic check-in, check out these additional setup options:

  • Edit standard attendee data

  • Ask additional questions at check-in


Want to Customize Your iPad Screens?

You can upload branded artwork for your iPad Check-In screens to enhance the attendee experience.
