CertSuite PAT - scanning and printing the barcodes and QR codes [08-0304]
CertSuite PAT can print labels with a QR code, and some text: it works with any of these Brother printers:
- PT-E310BT
- PT-E560BT
- PT-P710BTH
- QL-820NWB
How to scan Asset Labels that have barcodes or QR codes:
- On the mobile app, open a PAT test
-
Look for the icon to the right of the Asset ID, which looks like a barcode with a magnifying glass on top (see screenshot)
- Click the icon
- CertSuite will now use the camera in your mobile device to scan for a barcode/QR code
- If it finds one, it will read it in as the Asset ID
How to print Asset Labels that have barcodes or QR codes:
- You must have the PAT test open that you want to print
- Tap the blue 'User ID' button (top right hand corner of the App - see below, left hand image)
- Tap 'Enable Print' from the options that then display (below, right hand image)
- The available printers are listed
- Tap the one that you want to connect to: note that you must have paired your device with this printer via Bluetooth beforehand
- To print, tap the blue Label icon that now appears on the Details page of the app, top right (see below)
- The label will now print
Attach the label to the Asset: the next time that the Asset is tested, you can scan the Label to open the Asset in CertSuite: all of the recorded details from the last test will display.
Labels of different sizes: if your label printer can print different size labels, you can select which you want via Print Settings: this can be accessed by tapping the blue User ID button, top right.
