Beginner user here!  I don’t have a small QR code printer, we’ve purchased label pages (3x4 labels per page) to print from our computer.  We are trying to figure out how to print multiple copies of the same QR parts label on one sheet.  Seems like a silly question, but I need to figure out how to make it easy for the mechanics in the shop to complete!  Any brilliant ideas/solutions you’ve come across are much appreciated!

I don’t know of a way to do this within MaintainX, but there are several options if you are willing to learn them using outside tools.

The first step would be to take a screenshot of the QR Code.  I am not familiar with Apple computers so if that’s what you are using then, you would need to figure out how to take a screenshot, but on windows you can type the ‘Windows Key+Shift+S’ all at the same time to open the snipping tool and this will create a screenshot of whatever you select. The snipping tool will both copy the image to your clipboard and save it as an image in case you need to edit it or save it for reference later (Usually in your Documents\Pictures\Screenshots folder).

You can then Paste it into a blank word document (or saved template, see below) and manually position the QR code to print onto the label sheet properly.

As an added bonus: If you know the Avery Label number (Or equivalent if you are using non-Avery Labels) you can also go to their website (Avery.com\templates) and download a free template for word that would outline the correct location.  You can use the template to easily know where to position everything.


You may need someone in your organization that has Admin rights, but I know I’m able to export QR codes for our parts using the following steps:

 

Settings → Organization Settings → General

Under “Export Data” select “Parts Lists”

 

From there I am given the option to export the QR codes in PDF form.

 

Otherwise, you can always click on the QR code of a part and you should be given the option to download in different size/arrangement formats. From there you should be able to snag a MS Word template for the label sheets you purchased and then throw the QR code into that.
