Process of capturing the QR code and relating to an item

1. Locate the link / website address with the item. This is the item / artwork that the QR code will open on your website. Normally on the website available to the public.
   
2. Website link example: www.theartistsbook.org.za/view.asp?pg=booknesses&pgsub=jgcat&pgsub1=books&pgsub2=0002. See image 1.
   
3. Create the code: go to a QR code generator (see link toward the bottom of this page), select the URL option and paste the complete link - see the image 2 example.
   
4. The QR code generator will create a code which you must save to your computer (see heading Saving QR codes below). See image 3.
   
5. In the ResourceMD, find the item you would like to make a QR code for.
   
6. In Item Description select the QR codes option from the Navigation.
   
7. Complete the QR code form - see image 4. Note: you click the Browse button to locate the actual QR code image file. .
   
8. Test the QR code by going to the item, scrolling down to QR codes associated and testing with your phone. See image 6.
   

Print QR codes to labels

• The are 2 x QR code labels with your Print options. See image 6 for some basic examples.
  
• The visitor then scans the code and opens the website with the information and image associated with the item.
  
• Logos Flow can create custom QR labels if you prefer another layout, information and branding.
  

Saving QR codes

• You will be saving a lot of QR codes that will relate to an item. Rather store these codes in a seperate folder on your computer, or network, that is only used for these files.
  
• Store the QR code files in the same location as your image files, i.e. if the image files are stored in c:\DataFlow\Images then store them in c:\DataFlow\QRs.
  
• A QR code is actually an image file that contains the code, normally in a PNG format.
  
• Suggestion: save the image code with the unique reference ID as the file name, i.e. 1234.png
