What are 2D Barcodes?

	2D Barcodes, a simple black and white barcode pattern that companies print on magazines, posters, signs, business cards, coupons, labels and other media, allow access to information in a content rich digital environment.

How do 2D Barcodes work?

	2D Barcodes offer two common uses. When a customer uses their camera phone to scan a code, the camera phone becomes a barcode scanner. The camera captures the 2D barcode image and a reader triggers an activity such as opening a mobile URL or placing a phone call. When a customer presents a 2D barcode to claim a coupon or presents a pre-paid ticket to an event, a company representative with a 2D barcode scanner verifies authenticity by scanning the code.

	Carefully consider the design and placement of your 2D barcode. Prominently place your 2D barcode on a flat surface away from folds or other features that might obstruct scanning.

	Simplify the process for your customers Explain how the code works and include information about how to download a reader.
