Table of content

The badges can be edited via the XML in %programdata%/Pronestor Visitor on the machine where the print agent is installed.

Restart the visitor print agent for the badge changes to take effect.

All badges are located on each PC running Pronestor Visitor. The files are located in the program data folder:

Windows XP c:\program and documents\all users\application files\Pronestor visitor

Windows 7/8/10
​c:\programdata\Pronestor visitor

In the folder you will find 5 badge files.

badge_1.xml refers to the badge layout Standard

badge_2.xml refers to the badge layout Anonymous

badge_3.xml refers to the badge layout Incl. time

badge_4.xml refers to the badge layout Period

badge_5.xml refers to an additional badge connected to Parking.

If multiple companies and different badges are to be printed - company-specific design folders should be created in %programdata%/Pronestor Visitor

Create a folder for each company - and label each folder "company_x" where "x" is matching the company id. Ex. "company_1".

The foldername is case sensitive, so remember to write small letters

(the company id can be found within administration->Organization, hover a company and look for the URL which contains the company-id)

Copy from %programdata%/Pronestor Visitor all the badge_1.xml to badge_5.xml to all the company_x folders. Customize the design within each company folder, with a logo, etc.

Each badge design consists of a series of elements. An element can be either an image (imageelement), an input field (inputelement), a text field (textelement) or a barcode tag (barcodeelement).

>Each element will be positioned according to an x- and y-coordinate.

Images/logos of type bmp or png can be added to your badge.

A default company logo has been added by default - this logo can be changed by overwriting it with your company logo instead.

The logo - customer_logo.bmp - is to be found in the program data folder as described above. To fit in the default design, the logo should not be more than 480x180px (Width x Height)

If Zebra printer is used please ensure an image resolution of minimum 300 dpi and in white/black only (not gray).

You can add several images to the same badge. If two images are overlaps, then the element added last in the badge design will be on top.

Tags:

Image file name – file must be stored in the same folder as the badge. The picture cannot be scaled, so make sure the picture has the right resolution.
