Setting Up MASSO Link for QR Codes

Step 1 – Install MASSO Link

Install MASSO Link using the standard installation procedure.

More information on installing MASSO Link is available here: Installing MASSO Link

Step 2 – Map Your G-code Folder

1. Click the icon in the top-left corner of the MASSO Link window.

2. When prompted, drag and drop the folder that contains your G-code files into the window.

3. A confirmation message will appear once the folder has been successfully mapped.

    

The mapped folder can be located anywhere on your PC.

All subfolders inside the mapped folder are mapped automatically.

Step 3 – Confirm Mapping

Click OK to complete the mapping process.

Your G-code files are now ready to be used for QR code generation.

Creating a QR Code

Step 1 – Load the G-code File

Drag and drop the required G-code file into the MASSO Link window.

The file name will be displayed on screen.

Step 2 – Generate the QR Code

Click the icon in the bottom-left corner of the MASSO Link window.

A QR code bitmap (.bmp) file will be created in the same folder as the G-code file.

The QR code file name will follow this format:
Project.nc ? Project – MASSO QR.bmp

The QR code bitmap can be added to job sheets or project documentation to streamline production.

Flash Drive Directory Structure

The directory structure on the USB flash drive must exactly match the mapped folder structure on the PC.

Recommended Method

1. Open the mapped folder on your PC.

2. Select all files and subfolders.

   • Windows example: CTRL + A

3. Copy the selected items.

   • Windows example: CTRL + C

4. Open the USB flash drive.

5. Paste the files into the root directory of the flash drive.

   • Windows example: CTRL + V

Troubleshooting

If a message appears stating that the file cannot be used, it means the G-code file was not dragged from the mapped folder.

Solution: Move the G-code file into the mapped folder and drag it into MASSO Link again. You will then be able to generate a QR code.
