 QR Code Font and Encoder Overview

The IDAutomation QR Code Font and Encoder is a collection of components that generate QR Code symbols with fonts and graphics.

QR Code is a two-dimensional (2D) matrix type barcode symbology similar to Data Matrix and Aztec capable of encoding large amounts of data. The "QR" in the name refers to "Quick Response", as the creator (Denso-Wave) intended the symbol to be quickly decoded. The data encoded may include letters, text, numbers, double-byte characters, URLs and files. IDAutomation recommends limiting the data encoded in each symbol to 800 characters or less if possible because many barcode scanners do not properly decode large symbols.

Feature Comparison of Encoders Provided:

Multiple encoders provide more application integration options. It is necessary to use an encoder because of the complexity of the symbols. IDAutomation provides both font encoders and graphic encoders in this package. Font encoders return a text string, that when printed or displayed with the QR Code font, create the QR Code symbol, as demonstrated in the QR Code Encoder for Windows Tutorial. The feature chart below lists the encoders provided with the packages.

 QR Code Font and Encoder Features

In addition to the advantages mentioned above, the following features are provided in this package:

  • The advanced QR Code font uses IDAutomation Vertical Interleaved Technology™ which allows increased throughput and printing at small X dimensions. For example, the Hand Held Products 2D Imager scans symbols printed with IDAutomation's QR Code font as small as 3 points, which is an X dimension of .025CM or 10 mils.
  • Compatible with Crystal Reports 9 and above.
  • Custom tilde functions allow an easy method to encode tab and returns between fields in a single symbol.
  • The COM DLL was created in C++ ATL and has no dependencies.
  • The source code for any single encoder may be provided with the purchase of the Unlimited Developer License and a signed source code license agreement.
  • Multiple fonts are provided - When a license is purchased for this font, the customer will receive all versions in a single ZIP file. The manual is also supplied in a file named "readme" in the ZIP file. The following fonts are included:
