Introduction

Quick Response Code is a kind of barcode that stores more information than a simple black and white barcode, anything from phone numbers, contact information, addresses which can easily be used for marketing purposes to print the ads, and much more. Quick Response Code is called a two-dimensional barcode, due to the fact that, it uses dots in a square grid, instead of black and white lines of the typical barcode.

Step 4

In some cases you have to buy the application and print the elements for having a clear view. A certain fee is charged for their analysis, if you are not interested in buying or do not want to print the whole codes. Smart phones are the most likely device people will have, when people see Quick Response Codes, and these readers also have a built-in browser, that takes you to the website of the company, whose products are widely liked.

Step 5

Quick Response Codes are also used for other purposes, for instance, it creates a text message that can be sent instantly by a customer, or to use it for displaying a few words on the phone screen of the customer. The person who receives such text can even print the codes and keep them safe for having a look in future, just like greeting cards. The most important thing is the size of the Quick Response Code; the reader must be able to read the Quick Response Code with 100% accuracy, because if even 1% of the code is decoded incorrectly, all of the information stored in the code will not come out correctly. Similarly will be the result if any used print the codes, if not decoded properly, will become garbage when printed.
