      Remember those retro stickers that people wore to identify themselves at events? Don't feel like you need to dust those off for your visitors. With Greetly's Unlimited Plan, you can print out visitor badges for your visitors upon check-in.

      Note: 

      • You can ONLY have one device for each location connected to the app and printer in order for the printer to print badges 
      • Must have Global or Location admin access to the web portal

      Setting Up Visitor Badge Printing

      • --> Start by making sure you have the right equipment. 
        Greetly works with the Brother printer model QL-820NWB and with DK-1202 labels for the USA ONLY. Outside of the US, you will need the DK-11202 labels.   
      IMPORTANT: The sample labels shipped with the Brother printer are DK-2205. The printer will NOT respond unless the correct labels are used. <--
