Mobile Release QR Code

With Mobile Release, users release documents by scanning a QR code label attached to a printer. The QR code label contains printer information (e.g. IP address) that makes it easy to identify printers.

The Mobile Release QR Code section enables you to customize the information displayed on your QR Code labels. By default, the system uses the Default template which includes the following printer fields: Manufacturer, Model, and IP v4 address. If the default template is not suitable for your organization, you can create a new label template with the printer information that you prefer. You can also change the orientation of the QR Code label (i.e. configure how the elements in your labels are laid out).

You can select from the following set of printer fields to include in the QR Code label:

  • Make
  • Model
  • Serial Number
  • IP v4 Address
  • Location
  • Department
  • Building
  • Floor
  • Site
  • Grid X / Grid Y

Creating a new QR Code label template

The Label Templates section is where you create a new label template, edit an existing label template and select the template for the system to use.

  1. Navigate to the Secure > Settings screen.
  2. In the Mobile Release QR Code section, click Create.
  3. Enter a name to identify the template.
  4. In the template editor, edit the template as desired (e.g. insert fields, remove fields, change existing logo).
  5. Save the template.

Note: The Default template is selected by default. If you wish for a new template to take effect, you will need to select the template to use (by clicking on the template). Make sure to click on the Save button.

  3. Format text (Select size of text, bold, italics, change text color).
  4. Pre-loaded logo (You can change this with your organization’s logo).
  5. Pre-loaded printer fields (Delete or insert fields as you like).
