Abstract

A process of providing user information for a mechanical hand labeler to instruct the user on proper use of the device and how to reorder consumables is disclosed. The mechanical hand labeler would comprise a Quick Response (QR) code that is embedded with Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for different functions. The embedded URLs in the QR code are read via a smart phone. The smart phone reads the QR code and launches the appropriate website. Specifically, the QR code is placed on an outside of the mechanical hand labeler for providing instructions on loading supplies into the mechanical hand labeler; and the QR code is placed on an inside of the mechanical hand labeler for providing instructions on reordering supplies.
