      Scanning the labels

      SLIC has a built-in QR-code scanner. Open slic.cropster.com  and allow SLIC to use your device's camera. 

      Lay your samples out facing upward, being sure to leave enough space between labels that their codes can be scanned without interference.

      1. If you already have a QR-code scanner app on your phone, simply scan the QR-code and you will automatically be brought to SLIC.
      2. Give SLIC access to your camera, to scan labels directly within the application. 
      3. Hover your device over the QR-code to import the information to SLIC.
