QR code

  2. Direct the camera at the configuration's QR code. For instructions on generating a configuration QR code, see Export a scanning configuration – QRCode.
  3. After scanning the QR code, Knox Capture automatically imports the configuration and displays a success message.
NOTE – If the configuration is too large for one QR code, Knox Capture displays multiple QR codes in a PDF file. The end user must scan them all to complete the import process. If the user attempts to scan a QR code that isn’t part of the same configuration, an error message is shown on the overlay until a different one is scanned.
