You may need to make some other adjustments for your environment. These settings produce a badge that was dry within 2 seconds of being printed and cut on a Primera LX 400 and a Primera LX 500.
It’s easy and free to activate this feature. Simply call us and ask for “Red Flag, No Badge” to be turned on. Once it’s on, the above pop-up will come up when a red flagged visitor comes back. No badge will print and the attendant will need to follow the facility’s policy for handling red flagged visitors.
