Here’s how to create a QR Code to connect to Wi-Fi and connect your PC to a Wi-Fi network using the app.
Create a QR Code for a Wi-Fi connection
First, create a QR Code for your WiFi connection in the app. On the tab at the top of the app, select
“Create” to display the barcode creation screen.
On the Create screen, click the
“QR Code” button.
Specify Wi-Fi connection information on the Create QR Code window.

When you click the Create button, a QR Code is generated and the Barcode Details screen appears.
Save the created Wi-Fi connection QR Code to a file and print it as necessary. For information on how to save to an image file, see 5.4 Copying and exporting barcode images.
Read the QR Code for Wi-Fi connection and connect to Wi-Fi
The QR Code for wi-fi connection created above is read by the app. The reading method is the same as the normal barcode reading method.
4.1.1 Reading barcodes with a camera
4.1.3 Reading barcodes displayed on PC screens (Screen Scan)

4.1.5 Reading barcodes in image files
When you read the QR Code for a Wi-Fi connection, you will be asked if you want to connect to Wi-Fi.
Press the Connect button to start connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
When you’re done connecting to Wi-Fi, you’re switched to a message that says you’re done.
※About the use of QR Code for Wi-Fi connection
- Please note that QR Codes for Wi-Fi connections include a password for connection.
- If your PC is connected to another Wi-Fi network, the connection destination switches to the Wi-Fi network specified by the QR Code.
- You can also connect to a Wi-Fi network from the context menu on the History screen. (See 5.2 Context menu)
- If the network name (SSID) includes a symbol, make sure that the correct symbol is specified for the SSID on the QR Code side for Wi-Fi connection. (e.g., connection cannot be established due to the difference between apostrophe and single quotation)
