Add an Item QR Code
A QR code is a two dimensional black and white matrix image used to convert an image into text. All items allow for the ability to have a QR code assigned and be printed on a label. This is useful for:
- Adding specific nutritional information for the item
- Adding a company web page for customers to navigate to
- Use for specific tracking codes without listing number on label
- Allowing for more information to be available without taking valuable space on the label
Before the QR code can be entered into your printer profile, it must first be added into the specific item.
Steps:
1. Log in to the portal at www.datecodegenie.com using the recommended browser. See Supported Internet Browser for Portal Access
