How to Generate a QR Code Label

1. In BOS Enterprise, navigate to Main Menu > Reports > Custom Reports.

2. From the dropdown list next to Select, select Item QR Codes.

3. Click the item you want to generate a QR Code for.

4. Click Output (button) > Print to print to your default printer.

5. Click Output (button) > Preview to view the code and print it to a different printer.
