You can simplify the way that access control users log into their scanners by creating barcodes and 2D barcodes containing their usernames and passwords. When users scan the code, they be logged in to the application.

Creating Username and Password Barcodes for Scanners

Information The barcodes created via the following process only work with scanning devices that recognize TAB as the character that will switch fields within the scanner's browser.

To create a barcode that contains a username and password, complete the following:

1. Open a Microsoft Word or Excel.
2. Copy and paste [USER_NAME]~009[PASSWORD]~009~013 into the text editor.
3. Replace [USER_NAME] with the actual username.
4. Replace [PASSWORD] with the actual password.
5. For every additional username/password that you want to create a barcode for, repeat the process from Step 2.
6. Navigate to http://www.bcgen.com/fontencoder/Default.aspx.
   
7. If you have not already done so, download the appropriate Code 128 fonts by completing the following:
   1. Click the IDAutomationC128 hyperlink.
   2. Click 'Demo Now' at the bottom of the screen.
   3. Click 'Demo Now' next to the Windows logo.
   4. Save the .ZIP file to your desktop.
   5. Within the .ZIP file, open the IDAutomation_C128FontAdvantageDEMO folder.
   6. Copy the TrueType Font (.TTF) file(s) (e.g. IDAutomationSC128L.ttf).
   7. Paste the TrueType Font (.TTF) file(s) into C:\Windows\Fonts.
8. Copy and paste the updated [USER_NAME]~009[PASSWORD]~009~013 line into the 'Data to Encode' field.
9. Click 'Code 128'.
10. Copy the text that was generated in the 'Encoded Text' field and paste it into the Microsoft application that you opened in Step 1.
11. Highlight the text.
12. Select the barcode font that you want to use from the 'Font' dropdown. They will appear as actual barcodes in the list.
13. For every barcode that you want to generate, repeat the process from Step 8. Ensure that you identify each newly generated barcode with the appropriate username.
14. Print the barcodes and test that each one successfully logs the users into Access Control.

Information When using the demo versions of the Code 128 TrueType Fonts, a DEMO watermark will appear periodically at the top of the barcode, which may cause errors when the barcode is scanned.

Creating Username and Password QR Codes for Scanners

Hint QR codes can only be read by scanners/mobile devices equipped with 2D Imagers (or PICO Imagers). The QR codes can be scanned directly from the screen, for testing purposes there is no need to print.

To create a QR code that contains a username and password, complete the following:

1. Open a text editor, such as Notepad.
2. Enter the username.
3. Press TAB.

   Hint It is important that TAB is used and not an equal number of spaces. The TAB is what is what switches the entry from one field to the other.

4. Enter the password.
   
5. For every additional username/password that you want to create a QR code for, repeat the process from Step 2.
6. Navigate to http://qrcode.kaywa.com/.
7. Click the 'More' dropdown.
8. Select the 'Text' radio button.
9. Copy and paste the username/password that you want to generate a QR code for into the available field.
10. Click 'Generate'
11. Test the QR code by scanning it with the applicable scanner. This can be done straight from the screen.
12. Several options are available to save the QR code, including right-clicking on the QR code and saving the image to the appropriate location.
13. For every QR code that you want to generate, repeat the process from Step 9. Ensure that you identify each newly generated barcode with the appropriate username
