The default result is a shape with a black fill and no line. You can change the line and fill colours like any other.

If scale the code,  keep the aspect ratio constant. The example below scan successfully down to about 1.5cm square.

 

The More text you use the more complicated the code gets and the size will increase.

 

This example has a poem of six verses and is about at the limit of scanning.

 

Therefore "keep the text short" to ensure success if manufacturing or printing to a small size.
