QR codes and labels
Show the QR code of a model or machine and print label sheets as PDF.
Every model and every machine has its own QR code. The model code opens the newest published version. The machine code opens the version the machine was shipped with. The QR link uses a fixed web address of your company, so printed labels keep working for 10 years and more.
Who can use this
- Everyone with the Manuals machine read permission can view QR codes
- Owner, Admin, Sales to print label sheets
