JTE Panel integrates with a companion label printing app that runs on your check-in machine. You configure the label layout once in the panel, and then on event day the printing app receives label data automatically each time an attendee is confirmed. The two communicate over a local HTTP connection on port 4202.

​
Accessing label settings

Open your event in JTE Panel and navigate to On-site Tools → Badge Printing in the event sidebar. The label settings screen lets you choose which attendee fields appear on the printed badge and preview the layout before the event starts.

​
Configuring what appears on badges

Each field you enable in the label settings becomes part of the data passed to the printing app when a badge is triggered. The printing app fetches the current label configuration automatically and uses it to render the badge. Consider the following when choosing your badge fields:
  • Include fields that help venue staff identify attendees at a glance — typically name, company, and role.
  • Avoid including sensitive registration data (payment status, dietary requirements) that other attendees should not see.
  • Keep the layout simple if you are printing on small labels. Most thermal printers work best with three to four lines of text.
After you save changes to the label settings, the printing app picks up the new configuration automatically on its next refresh. You do not need to restart the app.
Label settings are stored per event. If you run multiple events, each event has its own independent badge configuration.

​
Downloading the printing app

The label printing app is available from the On-site Tools section of the sidebar. Look for the Download Printing App link, which points to the latest installer for your operating system. Install and run the app on the machine that is physically connected to your label printer before the event starts. Once the app is running, it listens on http://127.0.0.1:4202. JTE Panel communicates with it automatically — no additional configuration is required on the app side.
Test the printing connection before attendees arrive. Confirm one test attendee from the attendance view and verify that a badge prints correctly. If nothing prints, check that the app is running and that your printer is selected as the default in the app’s settings.

​
Printing workflow on event day

On the day of the event, the printing flow works as follows:
1

Start the printing app

Launch the label printing app on the check-in machine. Confirm it shows a connected status and your printer is listed.
2

Open attendance management

In JTE Panel, navigate to On-site Tools → Attendance Management for your event.
3

Confirm an attendee

When an attendee arrives, find them in the list and click Confirm. JTE Panel sends the attendee’s label data to the printing app, which renders and prints the badge immediately.
4

Reprint if needed

If a badge prints incorrectly or is damaged, click the printer icon on the attendee’s row to trigger a reprint. The app uses the same label data that was sent at confirmation time.

​
Updating the label mid-event

If you need to change the label layout during the event, update the settings in JTE Panel and then trigger a refresh in the printing app by clicking Refresh label in the app. Badges printed after the refresh will use the updated layout.
Changing the label layout mid-event does not reprint previously issued badges. Only new confirmations and reprints will use the updated layout.
