# Print Visitor Tag

The **Print Visitor Tag** feature allows you to generate a small label or card with essential visitor information immediately after the check-in process. You can print the tag using **any printer configured on your device**, whether it’s a standard office printer or a specialized adhesive label printer.

This article explains how to use the feature and what settings we recommend for the best print quality.

### What information appears on the tag?

The printed tag includes:
* Visitor name
* Visitor company (if applicable)
* Host (who they are visiting)
* Arrival date and time
* Your account name

The design is simple, black-and-white, and optimized for small adhesive labels, but it can be printed on **any paper size** depending on your printer.

### 🧾 How to print the visitor tag

1. Complete the visitor check-in in LobbyFix.
2. At the end of the process, select **“Print visitor tag.”**
3. A preview window will open showing the tag design.
4. Choose your preferred printer from the browser’s print dialog.
5. Review the recommended settings:
    * **Orientation:** Horizontal or vertical depending on your printer
    * **Scale:** 100%
    * **Margins:** None or minimal
    * **Paper size:** You can use the default or set a custom size if you're using adhesive labels
6. Click **Print**.

Your visitor tag will be printed immediately.

### 🖨️ Which printers can be used?

LobbyFix allows you to print using **any printer installed on your computer or tablet**, including:
* Office printers (laser or inkjet)
* Thermal label printers
* Printers that support PDF printing
* USB, network, and Wi-Fi printers

LobbyFix does **not require a specific brand or model**.

### Recommended printers (optional)

If you want to print **small adhesive visitor labels**, especially at front desks or corporate receptions, we recommend **direct thermal printers**, as they are fast, reliable, and do not require ink.
Common models include:
* **Brother QL-800 / QL-810W / QL-1100**
* **Zebra ZD410 / ZD420 / ZD421**
* **Ribetec models with thermal label support**

These printers work as standard system printers and allow you to print labels around **76 × 50 mm (3” × 2”)**, which is an ideal size for visitor tags.

### 🛠️ Helpful configuration tips

* Keep the print **scale at 100%** to prevent distortion.
* If the printer cuts off parts of the tag, adjust the **paper size** or reduce margins.
* On thermal printers, choose **graphic mode** or **image mode** for better print quality.
* If using adhesive labels, ensure the label size matches the dimensions of the tag.

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need to install anything else?**
You only need to have a printer properly installed and available on your device.

**Can I print from a tablet?**
Yes, as long as the tablet can access the printer (for example, via AirPrint or Wi-Fi).

**What if my printer doesn’t respect the page size?**
You can manually adjust the paper size or scale in your browser’s print dialog until the tag fits correctly.
