Switching from QR TIGER
- Printed codes always point at the company that made them, so keep the old account active until new codes are printed (or ask that provider whether they can redirect them).
- List your live codes and their destinations, then recreate them in ScanOrbit; bulk CSV import (Pro) creates many at once.
- Replace codes on the next print run first. For items already out, a sticker with the new code over the old one is the quickest fix.
