QR codes are icons on paper that contain information like a website, a business card, or a coupon. You can create your own QR code or find one while you’re out that you want to give to a friend. While a digital image of the QR code should suffice, you can print the code on paper. This wikiHow will show you how to print a QR code on paper from your iPhone or iPad. First, you’ll need to have an image of the QR code on your phone -- either as a document in Google Drive or a picture in your photo gallery. Second, you’ll need to make sure your printer is set up with Airprint and that your phone/tablet is on the same network as your printer.
