Print Front End Barcodes

Quickly generate and print employee or document separator barcodes to use during scanning or importing. Depending on the way you access Applied Epic, you can either scan documents directly into the system or import existing files that you have scanned outside of Epic:

• If Epic is installed locally on your computer, see Batch Scan for more information on scanning.
• If you access Epic through a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, you must scan documents as PDF or TIFF files outside of Epic and use the Import Scans process to import files that include barcodes.

Use employee barcodes to attach scanned or imported documents to that employee’s Unrouted Attachments. Use document separator barcodes to create breaks within groups of scanned or imported documents. Printed employee and document separator barcodes can be saved and reused indefinitely.

     2. In the first Display employee codes field, enter at least one letter of the first employee code to be displayed. In the second field, enter at least the first letter after the last employee code to be displayed.

     For example, enter G in the first field and I in the second field to display all employees whose codes begin with G or H.

     3. Click Locate or press [Enter].
     4. Select the checkboxes to the left of the employees for whom to print barcodes, or select the Select all employees in this list checkbox to print barcodes for all employees listed.
