Bingo generator documentation
Enter one bingo text per line in the Edit view. There can be more texts than bingo boxes. The bingo generator randomly draws one text per bingo cell. The same text will not appear more than once in a single bingo grid.
| Setting | Impact |
|---|---|
| Rows | Number of rows in the bingo grid. |
| Columns | Number columns in the bingo grid. |
| Number of sheets | Number of randomly generated bingo forms. These are merged into one PDF file. |
| Font size | Text size in the bingo sheet. Test and adjust. |
| Banner image | An optional image at the top and bottom of the bingo screen. 794x161 pixels are cropped automatically from the center of the image. |
The Import view lets you choose bingo ideas from a few pre-defined options. By clicking the Import button you move the rows from preview to the Edit view.
One bingo grid should print on one page in the PDF file. The bingo application has been tested with these browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Brave
- Firefox
The bingo generator saves the latest changes to the browser. No data is sent away from your device. You can still save the best bingo texts to yourself, for example, in a text file or a note application.
Bingo sheets print settings
Possible issue when printing the bingo sheets.
| Printing problem | What to adjust | Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Cell size varies | App input | Use smaller font |
| Too much margin around the bingo grid | Print preview | Adjust margins. |
| Eg 2 or 4 bingo grids per paper | Print preview | Pages per sheet. |
| Bingo grid wrong size | Print preview | Scale, eg 50%. |
| Picture goes randomly to the next page | Print preview | Print only specific pages. |
| Bingo grid dimensions wrong | Print preview | Check that paper size is A4. |
| Colors or image is weird | Print preview | Enable “Background graphics” |
| Adjusting width and height independently | - | No way, the bingo grid must be square. |
Laptop browsers probably have wider variety of printing settings than mobile devices.
Print multiple bingo grids per sheet
How to print 3 bingo grids per sheet having numbers 1-75 on each grid?
In the text box, enter bingo numbers from 1 to 75 on their own lines.
Choose a grid size of 15 rows and 5 columns making 75 cells in total. If there are 10 players and you want each to have 1 printed sheet with 3 grids, enter 30 as the number of sheets.
In the print options you would have to select 3 sheets per page. Unfortunately, some browsers only allow you to select 4 or 6 sheets per page. If you select 4, each sheet should have an extra grid scraped off after printing. Especially if you have the option to print on a large A3 sheet, you can select 6 pages per sheet and cut the paper in half.
The best option is to download the bingo grids from the browser’s print view as a PDF file, having the default 1 page per sheet. The PDF file can then be opened in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader , which has a print option of 3 pages per sheet.
