The implementation of QR Codes in products such as printer cartridge is a security feature that lets customers validate the authenticity of the product. HP for its part has introduce mobile authentication.
For the customers who do not have the ability to scan QR codes can also validate the new label before they open the box. They can simply enter the alpha numeric code printed next to the QR Code, shown on the new security label at the HP Mobile Authentication website. The URL for this website is printed on the new security label.
Here are quick steps and procedure on how does a mobile authentication feature work.
– Visually check the label. The new HP Mobile Authentication label features holographic image-shifting properties in addition to the QR code.
Customers should perform the following steps to visually verify that the label is valid:
• Tilt box front to back to see ‘OK’ and ‘?’ move in opposite directions.
• Tilt box right to left to see ‘OK’ and ‘?’ move in the same direction.
– If the package includes a new Mobile Authentication label, a smartphone QR code reader can capture the security code.
