Using the Bar Code Reader
<Bar code reader>
You can use the Out-camera to scan JAN or QR code. The scanned text data can be
used for Phone To (AV Phone To), Mail To, Web To and i-
α
ppli To functions, Bookmark
and Phonebook entries, and also for displaying and copying/pasting text. You can
also obtain a ToruCa card, and play and save the scanned images and melodies.
 To scan the JAN/QR code, hold the Out-camera more than about 30 cm in [Macro OFF] and 10 cm
in [Macro] away from the code to be scanned. When the code cannot be scanned, change the
distance between the code and the Out-camera, angle, or direction.

The FOMA terminal may not be able to scan JAN or QR code if it is scratched, smudged,
damaged, of poor print quality, too small in size, or in certain light reflection conditions. It also
may not be able to scan some QR code versions.

The FOMA terminal cannot scan a bar code/2-dimensional code other than JAN and QR
codes.
■ What is JAN code?
“Example: 4942857133110”
A bar code that represents numbers using vertical lines (bars) of
different widths. The FOMA terminal can scan 13-digit and 8-digit JAN
codes.
■ What is QR code?
“Example: FOMA SO905iCS”
One of the 2-dimensional codes that represent data in the vertical and
horizontal directions. This data includes alphanumeric characters,
character strings (kanji, kana, pictographs), melodies, still images, and
ToruCa cards.
 Up to 16 QR codes can be scanned serially so that they connect to
each other and saved as a single data set. When scanning multiple
segmented QR codes, the message prompting you to scan the next
QR code appears after you scan the first one. Scan the QR code in
response to the message.
Scanning JAN/QR Code
You can scan JAN or QR code and save the maintained data for later use.
Specifically, you can use text data from the scanned JAN or QR code to enter
information in a textbox while entering text (P.387).
