Creating and printing QR Codes with the REINER® marking systems
Marking your products and parts with mobile QR Code printers
Miniaturisation in electronics is part of everyday life for us. Is it possible to print more comprehensive information on a surface that is only three square centimetres large, however?
It’s not a problem at all when encoded as a Quick Response Code (QR) ist das kein Problem. Only the REINER jetStamp® printers make it possible mobile quickly and efficiently as well, however! Our handy QR Code printers permit flexible marking of products with Matrix Codes, as direct printing applies the code right to the product. REINER® special ink is smear-resistant and will remain permanently legible even under difficult circumstances. These prints save time and money as compared to labels, while being much more flexible in product marking.

Printing the QR Code: simpler and more economically efficient with the REINER® inkjet printers
The QR Code with its compact dimensions is a popular digital marking method that easily permits semi- or fully automated communication between the analogue and digital worlds, contributing to seamless documentation of product processing or transport.
Many operations apply the shape, which is visually related to the QR Code, to parts and goods fully automated. Smaller companies usually still do this manually. The traditional approach is using labels to apply QR Codes to products. These in turn are tedious and time-consuming to print and apply. REINER®’s mobile printers now make it possible to use that working time more productively.
With its higher storage capacity, the DMC code, the “big brother” of the QR code, is used mostly in the professional area of industry, administration, and logistics.

Small and medium-sized enterprises in particular value our mobile QR code printers. REINER® InkJets have been developed specifically for labelling products quickly and easily. Never has it been easier to create and print QR codes. Print this smart alternative to labels right onto your goods with the push of a button using our handheld printers. The REINER® QR Code printers are reliable and long-lived, fitting flexibly into any working environment.
Instructions for simply creating QR codes with the REINER® InkJets
Intuitive operation enables all employees to use our QR code printers without any long training times, making the prints available wherever they are needed at any given time. An additional QR Code generator is not needed as the enclosed REINER® software PCset graphic already contains a QR code generator. Just a few clicks are needed to create your custom QR code that can be transferred to the REINER jetStamp® models by Bluetooth or USB interface
How our marking solution for printing QR Code works:
How our marking solution for printing QR Code works:
- The enclosed PCset software allows you to create your custom matrix code, and allows you to set consecutive serial numbers as well. The same device can be used to specify barcodes, text, consecutive numbers, and pictures as printing motives.
- Then connect your REINER® QR code printer with the computer by Bluetooth or USB and transfer your print data.
- Now you can start marking your products.
- Just place the printer on the product and push the print button. Done!
What makes the QR code structure special?
Since its introduction in the 1970s, the one-dimensional barcode has become established for use on products and packaging world-wide. The barcode was the predecessor of other, and in particular higher-performance, kinds of graphically represented data. All graphical data packages can be read with visual readers and immediately processed further on a computer. Reliability depends on the barcode’s print quality on the product as well as the legibility based on contamination or wear. The EAN barcode does have some weaknesses in this area, as is at times reflected by extended waiting times at the supermarket checkout when the reader at the end of the belt refuses to emit a successful “bleep”.
A clear further development was achieved in the 1980s, when binary information was encoded not only one-dimensionally as a series of bars. Two-dimensional representation as a square or rectangular “chessboard pattern” enormously expanded storage capacity, not only making the QR code much more compact, but also more informative and robust. Data are now encoded in black and white boxes or as dots with gaps. This consistent symbol size makes the image much more reliable to read and subsequently decode for a scanner.

Data are now encoded in black and white boxes or as dots with gaps. This consistent symbol size makes the image much more reliable to read and subsequently decode for a scanner.
The QR code inventors have additionally included a procedure for error correction, using the “Reed-Solomon algorithm” to permit correct reading of a matrix code after it has been partly destroyed. Such errors can have entirely everyday causes, such as scratches or contamination in transport of a package. Another advantage is in lower requirements to black-and-white contrast between the grid surfaces: a barcode needs a contrast of 80% for reliable legibility by the scanner, while the QR Code can do with as little as a 20% brightness difference.

Where are QR Codes used?
Their compact dimensions make QR codes popular as a digital marking method. They can be found on PCBs, medical devices, tools, chemical or biometric analysers, and even replacing stamps on envelopes and parcels.
Another special feature of the QR code structure simply is that it cannot be read by people without a scanner and software for it, which makes it suitable for storing discrete information in an encoded form as well, e.g., on letters, documents, time cards, personnel files, or inbound goods inspections.

Printing QR Codes on directly is more efficient than using labels
Our mobile QR code printers combine the special features of 2D codes with particularly simple application on products and packaging. Labels are still often used to mark building elements and products with QR codes. Labels are, however, tedious, expensive, and error-prone as compared to direct printing. The following items make clear why in particular smaller manufacturers often profit from direct printing of the QR Code instead of sticking it on.

Direct comparison: why direct printing is more economical than label printing
Many companies present labels as the weakest link in the marking process. The following reasons support using direct printing with the mobile handheld printers by REINER® instead:
Speed
Marking with labels requires three works steps: printing, pulling off, and sticking on. Using direct printing instead saves two of these, increasing economic efficiency in the marking process.
Flexibility
Labels once printed may turn out to be outdated or incorrect. Instead of printing new labels then, you can simple change the motive in your REINER® handheld printers and keep on working.
Reliability
Labels do not stick ideally to many surfaces. They are also susceptible to damage by moisture, oil, and wear. Markings applied with REINER® InkJets, in contrast, are highly robust against such effects and can be read in the long term.
Sustainability
Labels and the backing material from which they are pulled are disposable products that have to be disposed of after use. In the long run, this accumulates a considerable amount of waste. The REINER® hand printers do not create any additional waste and are therefore much more sustainable.
REINER® has had its base in Furtwangen in the Black Forest since 1913. It is a market leader of handheld stamps in Europe and of mobile inkjet printers and scan systems in Germany.
