Print QR cards

Print students’ QR cards for use at check-in kiosks set to Check-in method C (Card). Students record their check-ins and check-outs by holding their card up to the check-in kiosk.

The cards are used at check-in kiosks set to Check-in method C (Card) (Set up a check-in kiosk). They are read by the check-in kiosk’s camera or by a QR code reader.

  1. Select [Print QR cards]

    Open the [Attendance] tab on your school’s screen and select [Print QR cards].

    1. Select this to open the screen for making cards.
    The [Attendance] tab and the [Print QR cards] button

  2. Choose students and make the cards

    Decide whether to make cards for all enrolled students or for selected students, and select [Make cards].

    1. Makes cards for all enrolled students, or for the students you choose. If you choose “Choose students”, a list of enrolled students is shown; select the checkboxes of the students you want.
    2. Select this to show the cards for the chosen students.
    The screen for choosing the students to make cards for

    Cards can be made only for enrolled students. Cards of withdrawn students cannot be used at check-in kiosks. If there are no students to make cards for, “There are no students to make cards for.” is shown.

    For students who already have a card, their current card is shown as it is. New cards are made only for students without a card. Even if you print cards for everyone again to add cards for new students, the cards you handed out before can still be used.

  3. Choose the QR code style and print

    Choose the QR code style and select [Print]. In the browser’s print screen, choose a printer and print.

    1. Choose the QR code style. Whichever you choose, the content of the card is the same.
    2. Remakes this student’s QR code (step 5 below).
    3. Select this to print the cards shown.
    The screen for printing QR cards, with the cards shown

    Each card is the size of a business card and contains the student’s name and a QR code. On the paper, the cards are arranged in two columns, with dotted cutting lines between them.

    Each time you open the screen, the QR code style starts at “Standard”.

    In places where the camera image becomes grainy, such as dark rooms, the “Design” style is harder to read than “Standard”. If cards are hard to read, please print them with “Standard”.

  4. Cut the cards apart and hand them out

    Cut the printed paper along the dotted lines with scissors or a craft knife. Each card has the student’s name on it, so check the names and hand one card to each student.

    Students carry their cards and, when they arrive at and leave the school, hold them up to the check-in kiosk’s camera or QR code reader (Check in and out at the kiosk).

  5. If a card is lost or dirty

    Select [Remake] on that student’s card, and select [Remake] on the confirmation screen. The student’s QR code is replaced with a new one, and the card you handed out before can no longer be used: even if a check-in kiosk reads its QR code, nothing is recorded. Print a card with the new QR code, cut it out, and please give it to the student.

    If the card is only dirty and has not been lost, you can also print the same card again and give it to the student without remaking it (students who already have a card are printed with their current QR code).

When the add-on is unavailable

When the “Check-in & messages” add-on is unavailable (for example, it has not been added or the subscription was canceled), the reason is shown at the top of the screen. [Make cards] is not shown, and you cannot make, remake, or print cards. For how to resolve each reason, please see “How check-in and check-out works”.
