Here is the picture: As you can see on the top of the list is written: “Top 5 troubleshooting tips for your refrigerator”. And after that there is a list of problems that may have occur to you. If you scan them with some QR Reader, you will have this result: By scanning the first QR barcode it will lead you to a video that shows you how to solve the problem with the ice maker. By scanning the second QR barcode, there will appear a video that will help you to solve the problem with cooling. The third QR barcode will show you a video tutorial about how to control the display and setting like energy saver, ice off, ice type and child lock. The fourth barcode will show you a video that will help you with the frosting in freezer. And the last one will lead you to a video that will help you in the connection between your refrigerator and Wi-Fi. All this kind of data can be encoded even by you if you use QR code generator.

QR barcodes are overwhelming the current market. Every well-known company is getting in the action. These doodads can be placed on any product, material etc. and can carry a variety of data. The most common of them being: http address, picture, YouTube video link, location of something, contact information or promotions. Those are the most common and are used by advertisers in general, but there are many other types of data that could be hold in a QR barcode. If you are a fan of QR codes or a business, searching for barcode generator, then you probably know that Adobe has the intention of integrating a QR generator in their upcoming InDesign CS7 release. This means if you buy Adobe’s new press edition software, you will be able to generate your own QR barcodes. That is great and it’s simple but to use that option, you’ll have to pay a lot, just for a simple QR code encoding and customization. If you own a different press creation/editing software, then buying InDesign for the simple option of QR generation, would be a waste of money, well if you wish to upgrade your InDesign, then it won’t be a waste.  For those who need to use QR codes and don’t want to buy expensive software, then the best solution would be to get a dedicated QR encoder which would able to generate codes for CS(x) to the upcoming CS7. The biggest drawback of InDesign CS7, is that it will ONLY create barcodes for InDesign CS7, not for CS6 nor any previous version. That means: the codes you generate won’t be useful outside Adobe InDesign CS7, making it a problem for some people. QREncoder We are offering a better substitute for MAC users: QREncoder. This QR encoder is a universal product which allows you to create custom QR codes, it does not require any network connection to operate and it runs directly from your desktop and it can create codes for all CS(x) versions. The user-friendly interface makes it extremely easy to use. There are currently two versions that are available: Free and Pro. Both can make almost any type of data into a QR code with ease, and with the new 1.4 update there are some new options that allow you to create and add the following types of data: your meCard; iTunes App URL; reviewing iTunes App URL; section “New” in the Android Market URL; instant search in the Android Market URL; designating a place in Foursquare URL; browsing videos in Youtube from iOS device URL; Tweeting on Tweeter URL; And the best new addition would be the MicroQR code. The code is much smaller, best suited for small spaces and/or small products (similar to the...
