QR Code Correction Level

Supported in:

Kiosk Pro Enterprise

The QR specification defines the block size so that no more than 30 error-correction symbols appear in each block. The code blocks are then interleaved together, making it less likely that localized damage to a QR symbol will overwhelm the capacity of any single block.

This setting lets you define the error correction level for the QR code generated. The higher the error correction level, the less storage capacity.

Default Value:
  • L 7%
Other Possible Values:
  • M 15%
  • Q 25%
  • H 30%"
