Generate QR Code Labels (for QR Release)

Generate and print the QR code labels that users scan at a secure printer to release their print jobs. QR Release lets users authenticate by scanning a label attached to the printer instead of signing in at the device.

Before you begin

  • You have administrator access to the web console.
  • The printers are secured with QR Release enabled. QR labels can be generated for Secure Printers only.
  • QR Release is enabled as a User Workflow. See Configure Secure Release.
  • You have A4 or Letter label stock available for printing.

Steps

1

Open the Secure Printers list

Navigate to the Secure > Secure Printers tab of the web console.

NoteYou can also reach this list from the Setup Guide. On the Generate QR Code Label for QR Release card, click Generate to open the Deploy Sign In Options dialog, which contains the same printer list and the same options.
2

Select the printers

Select one or more QR Release enabled printers for which to generate QR labels.

3

Generate the labels

Click Generate QR Labels in the drop-down menu (next to either Deploy QR Release or Remove QR Release). This creates a QR code label for the selected printer.

4

Choose a paper size

Select your preferred Paper Size. The choices are A4 or Letter.

5

Download the label template

Click Download PDF to download a laser printer label template (standard "2 x 4”) and then open or save the file.

6

Print the labels

Print the QR code labels.

TipWe recommend Avery 8163 for Letter and Avery 3425 for A4. For best results, print with ‘Actual Size’.
7

Attach the labels to the printers

Attach the QR code labels to the appropriate printers based on the network address shown on each label.

Result

Each selected printer now has a QR code label attached. Users can scan the label at the printer to authenticate and release their print jobs.

Here's an example of the QR labels that Secure Print generates.
