Hi Sanjay,

Can we add this case to 9.4 release. We can share the cost of what needs to be purchased.

Regards

Sanjeet

Hi Sanjeet,

The QR code size is shrinking by only 5mm on each side which is an insignificant size change. The cost of the QR code is around 3000 USD for 10,000 uses.

The main problem here is that FRCS is trying to squeeze 800 characters in this QR code, therefore there is a limit on the size based on the resolution of the printer.

We have delayed 9.4 release significantly and need more research on the current QR code we have to see what can be done.

We can look at this as a Post 9.4 patch but most likely this will need to come out in 9.5.

This will be the first case addressed in 9.5 and released.

    Hi Sanjay,

    This case has been successfully tested.

    Documentation is not required on the case.

    • The QR code should be reduced in size to take a space of 4.5x4.5 - Pass
    • The QR code should be reduced on A4 and 80 mm receipts - Pass
    • The QR code should be successfully scanned - Pass - Used the FRCS scanner.
    • The above has been tested with Cash Sale, Credit Sale, Layby, Returns, Reprints and Quotation.

    Thanks

    Rashna
