OK, I have a boat load of info here, now to try it all and see what works, if any one has anymore recommendations I am all ears.
What I want to have visible on the label is the QR code and a brief descrip- tion of the labeled item along with the P#. The QR code will have the full des- cription and the next step will be to capture the info into the parts db so that as we use parts off of the vehicles all we have to do is image the QR code and the part is noted and removed, but first step is to get the labels so that I can label the parts. Thanks folks for all of this great info.
