Where to find it
MenuTest Report › Print › Generate QR Code
E-Lab makes a PDF of the report, uploads it to Solver's report server and creates a QR code for its web address. The PC needs internet at that moment.
Add a QR code
- Open the print panel
Save and answer Yes, or click Print on a complete report. - Click Generate QR Code
A progress bar runs while E-Lab makes the PDF, uploads it and makes the QR image. A second click is ignored. - Print
Print the report. Where the QR appears depends on your design. Check the first print. - Scan it once
Scan the printed code with your phone and check that the right patient's PDF opens.
After a correction
- Remove the old code
Click the remove icon next to the QR and answer yes to Are you sure to remove QR Code From this test report...? - Generate again
Click Generate QR Code and scan the new one.
Good to knowThe QR PDF is made from the design chosen in Format, so the phone shows the same page as the paper. Only when that design cannot make a PDF does E-Lab use the classic Test Report.rpt instead.
CautionThe QR opens the PDF made at the time you clicked. Removing the QR takes the code off this report only. The older PDF stays on the server and on this PC.
Patient privacyAnyone who scans the code, or has the link, can open the report. The link name is a date and a random number, not a password. Never post the code publicly.
Good to knowIf the upload fails, E-Lab says the report and QR are ready and the PDF is saved on this PC. The file waits in a queue and goes up after the next successful QR upload. PDFs are kept in the PDFs folder and QR images in the qr folder of the E-Lab folder. To print the QR in red, tick Generate Test Report QR Code in Red Color in Help › Settings and click Apply.
Questions people ask
The patient scanned and nothing opened.
The upload had not finished, often because the internet was down. It goes with the next QR you make. Or remove the QR and generate again.
E-Lab removed the QR and said the PDF was not created.
The PDF did not appear within 2 minutes. Check that Print.exe is in the E-Lab folder and that antivirus is not blocking it.
Does the QR work on the Medical Examination Report?
Yes, the same button is on that screen, and the red setting applies there too.
