1. Generating QR codes for ID cards and labels

1. Exporting data from Lucidity:

   • Use the Excel export feature from Lucidity's modules (HR, Competency, Asset) to generate the required URLs for each user's record.
   • This export includes necessary URLs and other relevant information to be converted into QR codes by the card printing software.

2. Printing QR codes with card printers:

   • Card printers use specialised software to design cards with background images, logos, and other details.
   • Connect the Excel export to the card design software to print double-sided colour cards, which can include emergency contact information, names, and images.
   • Suggested card printer: Evolis Primacy.

3. Printing QR codes with label printers:

   • Label printers, typically black and white and using thermal transfer, are ideal for printing QR codes for plant items.
   • They can print both individual and bulk QR codes.
   • For water-resistant labels, use polypropylene (PP) label stock and a resin ribbon to ensure durability for outdoor use.
   • Suggested label printer: TSC TX-600.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate QR codes into your ID cards and labels, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of accessing important information within Lucidity.
