Scanning a QR Code® with the Camera

A QR Code® is an image that stores information, such as the address of a web site or TI-Nspire™ document, as a pattern of small squares.


Web address http://education.ti.com stored as a QR Code®.

Typically, the QR Code® image is printed or projected so that you can extract the information using your device camera. TI-Nspire™ App for iPad® supports QR Code® scanning with the camera.

Note: You can use the App to scan a QR Code® embedded on a Notes page without using the camera. For details, refer to Using a QR Code® on a Notes Page.

To Scan a QR Code® with the Camera:

1. Start on the Home Screen of the App.
2. Tap the scanning tool on the toolbar.

4. Aim the camera at the QR Code®. Scanning occurs automatically.
