A hand-held portable QR Code label printer has a keypad and display screen for inputting data; a QR Code generator for converting the data into a QR Code; an inkjet printing system for printing the QR code from the QR Code generator on a label; a delivery system for moving the labels on a roll to the inkjet printing system and then moving the QR Code printed label through an exit port. A controller controls the components of the QR Code label printer. A battery power source supplies the power for the components of the QR Code label printer. A housing will support the keypad and display screen externally and support the QR Code generator, the inkjet printing system, the delivery system, the battery power source and the controller internally. The QR Code printed label can be attached to an item to be scanned and the inputted data displayed.
