In addition to recording the readings at the service, the invoice shows the number of free counts.

 

These free counts will be automatically adjusted when this machine goes through the next billing cycle.

 

QR Barcode

Jim2 includes functionality to create a QR code sticker which can be placed on a serialised machine.

 

Customers can scan the code using the camera on their mobile device, and gain instant access (without needing to log on) to log a new service or consumable job for the machine. You can also collect service page counts from customers at this time.

 

The QR code contains the eBusiness Service web portal URL for the Machine.

 

The barcode is to be set on the machine by way of the Serial# field. See Set up QR Code for full instructions.

 

Info

As the barcode is set for the machine (rather than the serial number), you can simply change the serial number when a machine is replaced. 

 

The barcode field is a completely separate field to the Serial# field, even though you select the ellipsis [...] beside the Serial@ field.
