QR barcode does not print Japanese data

If the data within the QR barcode should be encoded in Shift JIS (SJIS):
  1. Double-click the box you drew that defines the QR barcode.
  2. Click Settings and enter Shift_JIS in the encoding field.
    The input data is always Unicode; however, this setting translates the Unicode characters into the Shift JIS encoding for the content of the QR barcode.
Setting the encoding field to Shift_JIS or SJIS produces UTF-8 that is encoded in Shift JIS. This encoding is not interpreted correctly on DoCoMo Imode phones (common in Japan). DoCoMo Imode phones are compatible with encoding settings of: sjis, x-sjis, windows-31J, MS_Kanji, csShiftJIS, csWindows31J, windows-932, cp943c, ibm-943. These encodings might produce different QR barcodes because they have conflicting code points.
