^BQ · QR code

Generates a QR code.

Syntax and practical example

^BQo,m,s

Example: ^BQN,2,6

^XA
^PW600
^LL400
^FO40,40^BQN,2,5^FDLA,https://editorzpl.com^FS
^XZ

Educational example; not a certified label or a physical print test. Sample text and codes stay the same in every language for comparison.

Expected result with ^BQ

^BQN,2,5 selects QR model 2 with magnification 5. In ^FDLA, L selects error correction and A automatic input; the URL starts after the comma. Try magnification 6: the symbol grows but its destination does not change.

What should I check if ^BQ does not give the expected result?

Do not remove LA, when replacing the URL. Size also depends on data length and error correction. Keep at least four white modules around the symbol and check the scanned destination, not just its appearance.
