QR Generator

Introduction​

The Scantrust Offline QR Generator is used by Printing Partners to generate QR codes for high-volume work-orders.

For quantities over 120,000 codes, the codes download does not contain images. Clients must generate their codes using the QR code generator.

How it Works​

The QR generator is a command line application included with each large workorder. By default, the Windows generator is included, but others are available below.

The QR Generator will generate ALL codes into the codes/ directory, separated into sub-folders. It will also generate files.csv which maps the generated codes to their serial numbers.
