Put the message itself in the image
A text QR is useful for a short instruction, inventory label, or note that should be readable without opening a website. The payload is ordinary text rather than an access-controlled document.
Create and check it
- Write the exact text the recipient needs. Avoid secrets or information that should require authorization.
- Inspect the encoded-content panel for spelling, spaces, and punctuation.
- Download and scan the image. If it becomes too dense for the label, shorten the message or link to a page instead.

Equipment A17 — return to the reception desk after use.Anyone who can read the QR can read the message. A URL-looking message may still be interpreted as a link by some scanners. Text stored in a printed image cannot be changed later.
Troubleshooting this QR type
- Long text will not generate
- Shorten the payload. A QR has finite capacity; making the image physically larger does not increase that capacity.
- A label has outdated instructions
- Replace its image. For frequently changing instructions, use a stable web page.
