Managing QR Code Definitions
QR (Quick Response) Codes are a type of matrix barcode; a barcode being a machine-readable optical label. A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background and can be read by devices such as a camera on tablet or smartphone. The amount of data that can be stored in the QR code depends on the version (1, ..., 40, indicating the overall dimensions of the symbol, i.e. 4 × version number + 17 dots on each side), and the error correction level. You can setup QR codes to convert text and selected data elements (merge codes) into a QR code image for output in a selected location in a stationery template. For more information, see About Stationery Editor.
