Scanning a QR Code from a product label or shelf tag can quickly take someone to a vendor's Web site for more information or special offers.

Integrated Custom Software's IBM i-based FormSprint software now supports QR Codes along with the Intelligent Mail Barcode, PDF417, and most other common bar codes.

Smartphone users take advantage of QR Codes (short for Quick Response) to obtain additional information from what is displayed, such as product information. First designed for the automotive industry, the QR Code's ability to store relatively large amounts of data led to its adoption by smartphone manufacturers. Scanning the QR Code from a product label or shelf tag can quickly take someone to a vendor's Web site for more information and sometimes special offers.

The supported QR Code is V6 or V16, depending on the length of the data stream. The error correction code is level H. Multiple input lines can be coded. A maximum of 362 characters can be encoded if the data stream contains only letter, numbers or special characters $ % * - . / ;  if other characters are included, the UTF-8 binary coding will be used, and the data length is limited to 248 characters.

The QR Code is square and scalable. As with all FormSprint bar codes, spool file data can be selected and converted simply by indicating a size and placing an X next to the desired bar code type.

Integrated Custom Software began operations in 1985. Since then it has developed and marketed accounting packages, a user-definable data base package, a manufacturing job management package and other software packages including custom applications. ICS has offered FormSprint on the AS/400, now IBM i on Power Systems, since 1992 and has over 1,000 users representing most areas of commercial enterprise as well as government entities such as cities, counties, and school districts. The company's software reflects the company name, Integrated Custom Software. It produces fully integrated packages, not collections of utilities.ICS customizes its "off-the-shelf" packages and it produces specialized, totally unique packages to meet specific customer requirements. Programming efficiency and reliability is obtained by using ICS-developed programming tools and subroutines to provide highly structured, nonredundant processing. The result is rapid turn-around time for the development of new features or the correction of quality defects. When you call ICS, you talk to a person, not a machine. The goal is to provide outstanding technical support. That means everyone doing their best to answer your questions or solve your problems as quickly as possible, whether it appears to be an ICS product problem or not. Products constantly evolve in response to customer requests and technology changes. General software upgrades are released at least once a year to all customers with current support contracts.
