ScriptX: General Information and Updating to the Current Version

Overview

ScriptX is a third-party application that enables web-based printing via an internet browser. ScriptX is required for all badge printing through Badge[on]Demand and needs to be installed on each PC on which printing is done. All equipment rented from Expo Logic will come with ScriptX installed.

In addition to general information, this article gives guidance on updating ScriptX when badges won't print from Badge[on]Demand due to a variety of possible errors mentioning the ScriptX license. 

Note: For client owned equipment or equipment rented from a third-party,
badge[on]demand will now detect if the correct version of ScriptX has
been installed and will prompt users to install or upgrade upon logging in to
the system. 

ScriptX Versions

ScriptX will often release upgrades and new versions, so it is important to have the most recent version installed on the PC you are printing from.

To find the most recent version, check the following URL for the User Upgrade:

• Stock Size
