QR-Code 2D Barcode Font & Encoder

2D QR-Code Font and Encoder

Generate QR-Code 2D barcodes with fonts and font encoders.

Created from AIM QR Code 2005 and ISO/IEC 18004:2006 specifications.

Supports text, web addresses, MeCard, VCard, GS1, ISBT, HIBC, ASCII functions and more.

Easily integrates with Crystal Reports®, Microsoft Access®, Word mail-merge, Excel, OpenOffice, .NET, C++, Java, JavaScript, Microsoft Visual Studio®, VB and others.

Includes a stand-alone Font Encoder Software Application to easily paste barcodes into applications and export encoded XML files.

Multiple font types are included in the package, such as Digitally Signed TrueType, OpenType, PostScript and PCL fonts.

Includes advanced support for GS1, ISBT and HIBC with tilde options.

With a purchase of the Developer License or above:

Web Fonts are included in WOFF, EOT and SVG formats to easily display barcodes in any web browser.
A silent installation executable is included with source setup to create custom installations.
Additional native font encoders are provided including C++, FileMaker, Java, JavaScript and .NET.

All QR-Code fonts require special formatting to ensure accuracy of the symbol when the 2D font is applied. Several font encoders and graphic encoders are included to perform this formatting.

IDAutomation does not recommend encoding tiny URLs or indirect links in QR Code.

QR-Code Font and Encoder Overview

This QR-Code package generates QR-Code symbols with font encoders and graphic encoders. IDAutomation's QR-Code software products support byte, text and numeric encoding modes according to QR Code 2005 and ISO/IEC 18004:2006 specifications. Because many scanners and decoders cannot easily read large symbols, IDAutomation suggests limiting the data encoded in a QR-Code barcode to 800 characters or less.

Features

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

This advanced QR Code barcode font uses IDAutomation Vertical Interleaved Technology, allowing for increased throughput and printing at small X dimensions. The IDAutomation 2D Barcode Scanner reads QR codes generated as small as 3 points, which is an X dimension of .025CM or 10 mils.

Examples for Microsoft® Excel, Access, FileMaker, OpenOffice and Crystal Reports included.

Custom tilde functions allow an easy method to encode tabs and returns between fields within a QR barcode symbol.

With a purchase of the Developer License or above, Web Fonts are included in WOFF, EOT and SVG formats to easily display barcodes in any web browser.

Multiple QR-Code Encoders Provided

QR-Code Encoder Features Comparison

Multiple encoders in the QR-Code generator software provide more options for integration into various applications and environments. It is necessary to use an encoder because of the complexity of QR-Code encoding and error correction algorithms. Font encoders return a text string that will generate a readable QR-Code barcode when combined with the appropriate QR-Code 2D font. The features chart below lists the encoders provided within each package.

The complete source code for any single compiled encoder, such as the .NET Windows Forms Control for example, may be provided by request after the purchase of an Unlimited Developer License of the Developer Suite.

* Included with a licensed purchase only.

If it is necessary to verify or read QR Code symbols, consider purchasing a QR-Code Verifier or Hand-Held Imager.
