•Be sure to place the QR code 4-6 inches away from the

scanner and slowly back away the QR code till a beep sound

is made.

•Do not wave! Move in and out!

•If scanning a QR code on a mobile

device, be sure to have the device

brightness set to highest. (Especially

devices with privacy screens)

reasonable size. You may experience

difficulty if the QR code is too small to
