Steps For Successful Printing
To print from your booth, you'll need to follow three key steps:
Use a supported printer
Connect your printer and iPad via WiFi
Format your layout for clean, professional prints
1. Choose A Supported Printer
Apple devices print using the AirPrint protocol, so your printer must be compatible with AirPrint—or work through a print server.
AirPrint Printers
These are plug-and-play and require no special setup.
Great for ease of use
Not ideal for high-volume events — AirPrint printers are slower
Non-AirPrint Printers (Dye-Sublimation)
Popular with professionals due to fast print speeds and lower cost-per-print over time.
These require a print server to work with your iPad.
More expensive upfront but better for high-volume needs
2. Connect Your Printer
AirPrint typically requires a WiFi connection. USB connections are only supported under certain circumstances at this time, and Bluetooth is not supported.
To print from the app, your iPad and your printer (or print server) must be on the same WiFi network.
3. Format Your Print Layout
Once your printer is connected, you'll want to ensure your layout fits your paper size correctly.
Adjust paper size and layout alignment in your print settings
Use the Force Fit feature to automatically center your layout and balance margins
Participant Experience
When printing is enabled:
A Print button appears on the app’s Send screen
You can also enable Auto-Print to print every session automatically (either on its own or alongside the print button)
