A self check-in kiosk can dramatically reduce wait times and lines. This portal allows your attendees to check-in to an event either by typing in their name and searching OR by scanning a barcode/QR code (when you've added a laser scanning device, via USB port).
We recommend that when you set up your Self Check-in Kiosk App as a computer kiosk, you do so 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 Kiosk 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.
