 * 2) Create the QR codes using a QR code generator, such as [] or [].
 * 3) Print the codes – you may wish to right-click on the code and then copy and paste it into a //Microsoft// //Word// document so that you can make it the size you need.
 * 4) Distribute the codes where ever you want them
 * 5) Open the smartphone scanning app and position the phone over the code in such a way that the code is within the brackets (see figure)
