1. Read multiple QR-codes on a single image
2. Supports multiple protocols
3. Saves the history of scanned items

What is a QR code? It is a type of matrix barcode that is a machine-readable optical label. A QR code contains information about the item to which it is attached. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to store data efficiently.

What is a barcode? It is a method of representing data in a visual, machine-readable form. Initially, barcodes represented data by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines.
