While a digital image of the QR code should suffice, you can print the code on paper. This wikiHow will show you how to print a QR code on paper from your iPhone or iPad. First, you’ll need to have an image of the QR code on your phone -- either as a document in Google Drive or a picture in your photo gallery.
