Read these 6 tips before using and printing a QR code

A. The shorter QR code perform better, not by size.

The fewer characters you use, the easier it will be to scan the QR code. We do not recommend printing any smaller than 7mm x 7mm, the recommended QR code dimension is 32mm x 32 mm or 1.25 inch x 1.25 inch to print.

B. Keep color as dark as possible.

Good contrast (dark color) between the background and the QR Code color is very important when a standard Black and White code is not used. In cases of colorized QR codes, the QR Code should have a dark color with a light background color.

C. Logo and colors in a QR Code.

If you want to embed a logo in a QR code, always use the error correction level H - High, even use the same for colors and gradient. With that level around 30% of the QR code can be used for logo.

D. Mind the Zone around the QR Code.

Leave enough space around the QR Code. If the distance between the pixels of the QR Code and the adjacent graphic elements is too small, the QR code will hard to decode.

E. While placing QR code, avoid reflective surfaces.

Note especially that when a QR code is affixed behind a glass, reflection may occur, so that the camera can have problems when decoding the QR Code.

At first check your entered data. Apart from this - there are two main reasons, fix these two, definitely your QR code will work fine.

(1). Color/gradient: Use dark color shade only, keep foreground color darker than the background.

(1). Error correction level: While generating QR code with logo and gradients, keep error correction level to H - High.

There is reason to use dark color in QR code is the efficency of QR code. Dark colors are more efficent and fast scaned by QR code scanners. So, if your QR code is not working - make sure to change the color to more darker.

QR Code has error correction capability to restore the data if QR code is dirty or damaged. Here you can generate QR codes in four error correction levels (L, M, Q, H).

Choose the error correction levels according to your operating area. For example - level Q and H may be selected for factory area where QR Code get dirty. Typically, Level M is most frequently selected.

Attention: Use blod colors and while generating QR codes with logo, colors and gradient keep error correction level to H- High.

Remember: The higher the error correction level, the less storage capacity. The following lists shows the approximate error correction capability at each of the four levels:

Level L (Low) = 7% of data bytes can be restored.
Level M (Medium) = 15% of data bytes can be restored.
Level Q (Quartile) = 25% of data bytes can be restored.
Level H (High) = 30% of data bytes can be restored.

Due to error correction, it is possible to create artistic QR codes that still work correctly, but contain intentional errors to make them more readable or attractive to the human eye, as well as to incorporate colors, logos, and other features into the QR code
