The barcode scanner makes it quick and easy to check barcodes, matrix codes, and QR codes on a proof. It will automatically scan the artwork and identify these codes for you – in fact, these will be highlighted on the proof for easy spotting.
Hover over a code to see its details, including the dimensions of the barcode or QR code. Click the code to copy the code information, even quickly create a comment containing the code too. The same can be done for QR codes, even opening the link in a new tab is an option.
