How to Install Greenpass (Visitor Management)

You can use Greenpass without installing anything. However, to scan drivers licenses and other government-issued IDs, you'll need our document camera (a high resolution webcam). If you have a webcam with normal resolution, you still be able to scan vendor badges, but you won't be able to scan drivers licenses due to the density of the barcode. You need a lot of resolution in order to do that.

Greenpass typically prints visitor badges, although you're not required to use them. To make printing easier, we take advantage of a web service available from DYMO:

DYMO web service installation instructions

If you install that web service, we can print the badges without the standard browser print dialog. You're not required to use the web service though. The system will recognize if you don't have the service and will present a button to print the badge manually.
