During the pandemic, we were confined, we protected ourselves with masks and, if we touched anything, we soon used disinfectant gel. This itself helped the rise of QR codes: without touching a restaurant menu or a magazine, we learned to access information by scanning the QR with our smartphone. Hasn’t it made our life easier…?
QR (Quick Response) codes are encodings that contain specific information (URL, SMS, email, text, etc.) and can be found on travel tickets, vending machines, brochures, websites, etc. Interested parties access the information by scanning it with an app. Due to the pandemic and their easy use on smartphones, these QR codes are already part of our daily lives.
This code, which never expires and is unlimited scanning, can be placed anywhere and we only need a sticker printer to print it. We can use it at our points of sale to show the customer information that may be useful to him.
Related to the latter, Nubeprint announces an important new feature: you can now print the QR on identification labels for printers!
The Panel user (Dealer operator or your end customer) can easily print the QR on the printer with a single click.
What it is for:
1) The QR is the best way for a printer user to report an issue when he is in front of the printer. By scanning the QR with his own smartphone, the Cloud of that printer is displayed.
2) From the Cloud obtained, you can see the status of the consumables and if any replacement cartridges have already been sent to the printer. You can also see if there are any open technical issues and their status or open an issue.
3) On NetLess printers, the QR allows the user to report the counter value and order consumables, as well as request technical assistance.
4) The printed label contains the QR and also the Dealer’s name, allowing you to identify all the printers you manage for your customer, differentiating them from those you do not. The QR is an automatic information service for the end customer and for reporting incidents, so by placing this label, the Dealer is providing its customers with a differentiating value compared to its competitors.
How it works “Print QR”:
1º. In Panel, find the printer for which you want to print the QR.
2º. Open your Cloud by clicking on the serial number.
3º. Click on the QR image. A new tab will open in the browser with the image to be printed.
4º. From that page of the browser, select print (this option is usually in the Menu), select the printer and print.
* It is recommended to use a printer for printing adhesive labels.
Finally, it should be noted that the label comes personalized with the Dealer’s name (as registered on your Nubeprint license) and that no other printer monitoring system has this functionality.
