QR Code Generator

With the QR code generator, you can convert text values to QR codes when displaying data. 

Available Parameters: 

• Value: the string/text to be converted to a QR code
• Size: the size in pixels for the QR code
• Margin: space around the barcode in pixels
• Encoding: The encoding to be used for this QR Code. 

Please note: QR codes can only be used when displaying data, not for saving a QR code directly to the database.

If you use a barcode scanner you can have some troubles while reading the generated QR codes. Depending on the encoding you chose you will have an extra amount of data corresponding to the ECI block. Some barcode scanner is not programmed to interpret this block of information. For example the ECI block for UTF-8 is 000026 so the above example will produce : \000026Life is too short to be generating QR codes. To ensure maximum compatibility you can use the ISO-8859-1 the encoding that is the default encoding used by barcode scanners.
