How can I print QR codes for my organization?

FMX allows you to print QR codes to attach to your Resources (locations), Equipment, and Inventory items. There are a few ways to print your QR codes.

Option 1: Printing From a Word Document

1. On the left sidebar, click on what you want to print the QR code for (Resources, Equipment, or Inventory).
2. Once you have navigated to either Resources, Equipment, or Inventory, filter your search down by using the "Filter" options.
3. Once you have filtered to the items, you would like to print QR codes for, select “Export” in the top right corner of the page and find the section "Barcodes". Please select which format you would like to export in.
   • We offer many options for printing sizes and labels. We offer sizing for Avery labels, DYMO label makers, P Touch devices, as well as Zebra printers.

* Avery labels can be purchased from office supply stores, as well as online, in the size in which you need to print your QR codes. Directions for printing these different sized Avery labels will be on the label packaging.

4. Once you select which format you would like the QR codes to export in, they will be exported to a Word document. You can then print the QR codes from this word document by selecting "File" and then "Print". 

Option 2: Printing from Mail Merge in Microsoft Word

1. In the left side bar, click on what you want to print the QR code for (Resources, Equipment, or Inventory).
2. Click “Filter” and select which items you would like QR codes for.
3. Then select "Export" in the top right corner and find the section Barcodes.
4. Select "Raw Data" and an Excel sheet will open with this exported information.

1. Open Microsoft Word and navigate to the “Mailings” tab.
2. Click “Select Recipients” and then click “Use an Existing List…”
3. After clicking “Use an Existing List”, browse to the location of the csv file you exported earlier and click open.
4. Click “Edit Recipient List” and ensure that the data appears as intended. See the picture below for our sample data:

** Please note that these next three steps are critical to the success of the mail merge. Please follow the steps exactly as described below.**

8. Press ctrl+F9 and type “INCLUDEPICTURE” between the curly braces. 

10. Type two double quotes “ “ after the INCLUDEPICTURE text.                                                           
11. Click between the double quotes and press ctrl+F9 and type “MERGEFIELD Barcode”. Your final result should look identical to the image below. 
12. Add any other fields you would like to print by simply clicking on the “Insert Merge Field” button. Typically companies will add the “Tag” field under the barcode. 
13. Click “Finish and Merge” and then click “Edit individual documents”. 
14. Press CTRL+A to select all and then press F9 to refresh the links. All the QR codes should now be visible and you are ready to print them out.
