Encoding capacity
The capacity of the QR code depends on the size of the code and the level of error correction
that is applied. If the amount of encoded data is greater than the capacity, the printer
displays an empty box instead of the field. Increase the size of the code or decrease the
amount of data. Table 6-13 shows the maximum available capacity at each level of error
correction (in bits, alphanumeric characters, and kanji characters) for each version number.
