Swiss QR Code

Swiss QR Code

Swiss QR Code is a variant of the QR Code barcode symbology for use with the QR-bill application supporting Swiss payments.

Standards: Swiss Implementation Guidelines QR-bill, ISO/IEC 18004, ITS - QR Code

Data and Options

• The data field input is provided in the format described in the Swiss Implementation Guidelines QR-bill document.
• The version option is used to specify the size of the symbol, 5 to 25. This is not typically specified.
• If the version is unspecified the encoder will default to creating a symbol that is the minimum size to represent the given data at the selected error correction level.

Note: Swiss QR Code specifies that the image shall be 46mm x 46mm (excluding quiet zone), irrespective of QR Code version, and is overlayed with a fixed 7mm x 7mm Swiss Cross pattern. The Swiss Cross pitch bears no relation to the module width of the QR symbol, so we must assume that the application provides sufficient resolution throughout the print process that defects produced by issues such as pixel grazing are insignificant. Therefore, unlike most other encoders, we do not pick a fixed module width to assist with grid fitting but rather ensure that the image is scaled to a fixed size, per the specification.
