A self check-in kiosk can dramatically reduce wait times and lines. This portal allows your attendees to check-in to an event by scanning a barcode/QR code or typing in their name.
We recommend setting up this kiosk in a Google Chrome browser running in Kiosk Mode. That way, your attendees won't see the URL address bar or other menus.
This mode also sends a print request directly to the printer and bypasses the Print Screen.
Setting up the Chrome Browser shortcut
Close all internet browsers running on the computer.
Create a new shortcut for Google Chrome on your desktop.
Right click on your shortcut and select Properties.
In the target section, you will see a link to a Chrome executable file (ending in chrome.exe). After the ", insert the following:
--kiosk-printing --kiosk [URL, from your Self Check-In App]The setting for your target could now look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk --kiosk-printing URL of YOUR KIOSK APPSelect Apply and then OK.
When you're ready to open the Kiosk:
Make sure you've closed all instances of Chrome.
Have your default printer set correctly.
From your desktop, double click on your new shortcut icon. This will open your app in full screen kiosk mode.
To close the screen, select alt+F4 on your keyboard.
