Interesting aspects of QR codes include testing and limits.
QR code prints started in Japan almost two decades ago by a well-known automobile maker to raise the speed of work and production in the factory. They give a simple way of tracking things, so they can be delivered easily to where they're needed. It increasingly became well-known, mainly for Adirondacks advertising purposes, because more people purchase mobile phones with pre-installed QR code readers. Now, they're found almost everywhere in Japan. Other nations have also began to pick up the trend. There are several things you can learn about QR codes, and below are 2 interesting ones:
Screening
* Download scanning program
Proceed to the app store of your smartphone's model, and find their apps for QR scanning. For example, if your phone is Nokia, then go to the Nokia site; if your mobile phone is Blackberry, then go to the Blackberry site; or Apple site if you're using iPhone. Once you find the application, download it immediately. Just follow the guidelines for downloading the app as they're prompted to you.
* Open the program
If the download of the QR scanning application is complete, open this on your cell phone.
* Test your QR code
As soon as you have the program ready, you may now test it on your cell phone. Find a QR code and bring the phone near to it. Position the digital camera of your smartphone directly unto the QR code and have a picture of it. After which, you'll immediately get certain information, such as the URL of the owner of that code, contact number, site, email address, and also other contact information which are stored. Once your smartphone provides a view of such data, it indicates that you've successfully tested the QR code.
Limits
* Character storage space capacity
QR codes can store 3 types of characters only - binary, numeric, and alphanumeric. Although QR codes can save a lot of these characters, it's not infinite. A QR code can only keep 2,953 binary characters, 4,296 alphanumeric characters, and 7,089 numeric characters. Whatever the QR code's size, they all have the same storage capacity. A QR code with the size of an identification card can hold just as many characters as a QR code which is as large as a billboard.
* Awareness
QR codes started in Japan on 1994, where they are utilized nationwide. It was barely found somewhere else because other countries were hardly aware of it. Eventually, a growing number of factories and enterprises worldwide gained details about it and have also adapted the QR codes.
* Print quality
Although QR codes were traditionally used to monitor vehicle parts in automobile factories, they're now used and put on several different types of items. These items include company cards, branded products, product tags, billboards, magazines, buses, and just about any object which makers think that customers would want to get information of. However, in case the print job was not so great and the quality of the QR code print is bad, this leads to their inability to be scanned. Poor-quality prints, unclear and crooked QR code prints are just a few of the reasons that a QR code print will be needless.
If you are planning to make your own QR code, it is important that you test it out before you release it.
