13 QR Code

QR code is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode). A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes to efficiently store data; extensions may also be used. PIStudio provides such object for users, it provides two modes, one is [Variable QR], and the other is [QR String].
