2. Click Generate additional QR cards under the original batch.
   
3. Enter how many blank cards you require. You can download them via the Actions dropdown once generated.

Generating QR cards after adding additional subjects to the names list

If you’ve added new subjects to the names list and want to generate QR cards for those additions, without altering any previously created cards, here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to the photo job's Tagging tab.
2. Delete the existing batch of QR Cards.
3. Wait for them to be deleted and then click the blue Generate QR Cards (PDF) Now button.
4. New subjects will be added onto the PDF that gets generated.

Generating general extra blank QR cards

If you want a large batch of blank QR cards to use across any job, follow these steps:

1. In your job’s Settings tab, choose the QR-Tagging method. Then click the blue link shown in the image below.
   
2. On the next screen:
   • Enter a batch name (e.g., "October 2024")
   • Choose how many cards to generate
   • Optional: Click Edit QR card layout to customize
     
3. The cards will appear at the bottom of the page. Use Actions → Download or send them to a lab for printing.

Note: These general QR cards are one-time use. Once used into a job, they should not be reused in a different job-unless you are using the same data in the other job(s). This is only relevant for a Senior or Makeup jobs (North America). 

The takeaway
