Technical requirements
Power requirement | Internet requirement | |
The iPad Gen 9 typically requires a 10W (5V, 2A) power adapter. | 2-5 Mbps is required | |
1 Brother QL-820 NWB Bluetooth label printer | The Brother QL-820 NWB generally consumes around 30W. However, this can vary slightly based on usage and specific model configurations. | Since this printer connects via Bluetooth, it does not use network bandwidth. If using the LAN port, it will require minimal bandwidth, typically in the range of 10-50 Kbps per print job. |
5G hotspot (add on, to be purchased) | A 5G hotspot generally consumes between 5-15W depending on the model. Assuming moderate usage, 10W is a good estimate. | Depending on the 5G connection, ensure it can handle a minimum of 15-30 Mbps for moderate usage. For events expecting heavy usage, particularly with additional iPads, aim for 50-100 Mbps to ensure robust connectivity. |
Traditional Router | Typically 5-15W depending on the model. | Must support LAN (Ethernet) ports and stable Wi-Fi. Ensure that your router is connected to a stable internet connection (DSL, Fiber, or Ethernet uplink). For best performance during check-in operations, your internet should support:

Setting up the Essential bundle for your event
- Unbox your essential bundle
Carefully unpack the Essential Bundle and ensure that it contains an iPad, a Brother QL-820 NWB printer, 250 adhesive labels, and a traditional router.
- Power on and connect the traditional router

To connect the traditinal router, use a LAN (Ethernet) cable. Plug one end of the cable into the LAN port of the Brother printer. Plug the other end into an available LAN port on your router.
- Connecting the 5G hotspot:
If you have purchased the add on 5G hotspot and would like to connect it instead, follow these instructions to connect it:
Establish a network connection by powering up the hotspot device. After doing so, connect your printer with the hotspot device using a LAN (Ethernet) cable to ensure stable connectivity.
- Set up the printer
Power on the printer and wait until the indicator light turns green. Once the printer is ready for use, load the badge stock into the printer. Ensure that the black timing mark faces downward. Leave one badge protruding for easy access.
- Set up the iPad
Power on the iPad and connect it to the the network connection established by the router device. Then, launch the InEvent app. Then, connect the iPad device to the printer using the InEvent app's Kiosk mode.

- Load adhesive labels
Insert adhesive labels into the Brother QL-820 NWB printer. You will have two options to use, the typical roll option and the four fan fold stock paper.
Loading Fan-Fold (Stacked) Paper into the printer
Some clients who purchase our bundles choose to use fan-fold (stacked) paper instead of the standard roll. If that’s your case, follow the instructions below to load it properly:
- Turn off the printer before loading.
- Open the printer cover by pulling the yellow latches on both sides.
- Locate the rear feed slot on the back of the printer.
- Feed the paper through the back slot — make sure the labels face up and feed forward into the printer.
- Inside the printer, adjust the yellow media guides so they gently hold the label edges.
- Close the printer lid until it clicks.
- Turn the printer back on. It may auto-calibrate; if not, press the Feed button to align the labels.
You will have then successfully loaded the printer.
- Start your event
Start the attendee check-in procedure using the InEvent app. You can simply scan the attendee's QR code, check them in, and their badges will be automatically printed.
