Secure Check-In Badges

• Planadar authorizes every badge QR before printing
• Compact signed credentials keep printed QR codes clear and fast to scan
• Pending, denied, refunded, lost, and revoked badges are blocked
• Use the badge action menu to revoke or reissue a credential
• Reissuing a badge invalidates older printed copies
• Badge export is blocked when the QR would print below its safe minimum size
• Using a template returns you to the Print tab with that template selected

Printer Settings

• Choose one-label-per-page or tiled Letter/A4 output
• Enter exact dimensions in inches, centimeters, or millimeters
• Use 100% or Actual Size and disable browser headers and footers
• Set to highest quality
