About+QR+&+Links

There has been an influx of strange black-and-white codes showing up all over the place. Restaurants, stores, movie theaters, magazines, and even on the side of buildings! What are they? They are called QR Codes, with the QR standing for Quick Response. Basically, they are bar codes that you can read by downloading a simple free app on your smartphone to be able to scan the code, which will then take you to a website.

You go to any free QR code website such as QR Code Generator and you can generate a code for text, pictures or websites. If you want to assign a QR code to a document that isn’t online, that can be a little trickier unless you use Tag My Doc. Tag My Doc is a new service that allows you to assign and print a QR code on your documents. The process is very simple. Just upload your document and let Tag My Doc generate a QR code for it. You can then print out your document with a QR code on it. The free version of the service allows you to store up to 1GB of documents on your Tag My Doc account, password protect your documents, and choose the placement of the QR code on your document.
