### 🔧 How do I troubleshoot if my QR codes aren’t scanning properly?

If you’re experiencing scanning issues, try these specific solutions:

**🎨 Visual Settings:**
 1. **Check Color Contrast** – Ensure sufficient contrast
between Code Color and Background Color 2. **Adjust Eye Color** – Make sure Eye 
Color contrasts well with the background 3. **Review Size Settings** – QR codes 
should be at least 240px for digital use, larger for print 4. **Verify Error Correction
Level** – Use ‘M’ (Medium) or ‘Q’ (Quartile) for better reliability

**📱 Content-Specific Issues:**
 * **WiFi QR Codes** – Verify SSID and password 
are correct; check security type (WPA/WEP/No Password) * **vCard Contacts** – Ensure
name field is filled (required); verify phone/email formats * **Location QR Codes**–
Use decimal degree format for latitude/longitude coordinates * **Email QR Codes**–
Check email format and avoid special characters in subject/body

**🔧 Technical Troubleshooting:**
 1. **Test Padding** – Increase padding value 
if codes appear cramped 2. **Reset Eye Radius** – Set to 0 if scanning apps have
difficulty with rounded corners 3. **Verify Content Length** – Very long content
may create complex codes that are harder to scan
