What is the largest amount of data you can fit into a QR Code?


I'm trying to create a QR Code that has 3,871 characters in it, and with the trial version, it is not letting me put the entire code in there. I'm going to be purchasing the software in a day or two when my new computer gets here. Once the purchased version is installed, will I be able to get the entire code into 1 QR Code?

Operating System: Windows 7

Application: Excel

The amount of data that can fit into QR Code is tremendous, possibly over 2400 characters. However, most scanners do not have the ability to read a 2D barcode that includes that much data. On average, a typical scanner can read about 800 - 1600 characters. It may be more.

The IDAutomation SC7USB2D Scanner can read above the average.
