Photo Badge Management

Photo ID badge management is integrated in the Doors program. An installation option allows Badging

to be loaded during the Doors software installation process. Refer to the Doors

Installation Manual (P/N

01821-004) for specific installation information.

Before selecting the Badging option, you must have additional hard disk space in the host computer,

beyond what is required by the Doors program. This additional space provides storage for the user

picture files. The installation program will not install the Badging option if the host computer’s hard

disk does not meet the following hard disk space requirement.

• 1 to 1,000 users requires an additional 100 MB of hard disk space

• 1,001 to 10,000 users requires an additional 500 MB of hard disk space

• Over 10,000 users requires an additional 1 GB of hard disk space

Badging commands will not appear in the user spreadsheet window until the badging option is enabled,

and Badging is not fully functional until a License Code is entered. This License Code is provided by

Keri’s Customer Support department, and is available for a fee. Even without a License Code, the

Badging features can be enabled, tested, and evaluated, but if a badge is printed, it will have the word

“SAMPLE” printed across the face of the badge.

Once Badging is enabled, badges are made through a Badging Wizard; a sequential set of windows that

guides you through the badge creation process.

Some installations require that Badging operate over a local area network (LAN). Keri’s Doors/

Badging software can operate over a LAN, but there are a number of limitations that must be considered

that affect operation. Please refer to the Doors

in a Network Environment Application Note (P/N

01867-001) for detailed information on operation over a LAN.

NOTE: If you are using a digital camera as a photo input device, the digital camera must be on Keri

Systems’ Recommended Peripherals List

(P/N 01840-001) to ensure proper operation with the Doors

and badging programs. Keri Systems cannot guarantee proper operation with digital cameras not on

the Recommended Peripherals List.
