QR Code Encoder Feature Comparison:

Multiple QR-Code encoders provide more application integration options. It is necessary to use an encoder because of the complexity of the symbols. 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 Microsoft Windows Tutorial. The feature chart below lists the encoders provided with the packages.

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

• The advanced 2D QR Code barcode 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 the IDAutomation 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.
• Created directly from AIM QR Code 2005 and ISO/IEC 18004:2006 specifications.
• The source code for any single QR Code 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 the QR Code Font & Encoder, 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:
  • TrueType fonts are supplied in PC and Macintosh format. The TrueType TTF fonts are compatible with Macintosh OS X and all versions of Microsoft Windows, including Pocket PC. Macintosh formatted MTT TrueType fonts are compatible with Macintosh System 7.1 and above.
  • OpenType OTF fonts with PostScript outlines are provided. These are compatible with Windows®, Macintosh OS X and other systems supporting the OpenType format.
  • PostScript Type 1 fonts are supplied in binary, ASCII and Macintosh versions.
  • Also included in this package are PCL 5 laserjet soft fonts from 2-14 points.
  • The Developer License grants the right to convert IDAutomation fonts to other formats as necessary including TrueDoc and OpenType.
