I have both my PC & my Andriod running these programs and the WILL NOT communicate with each other. I keep getting an "Error Message" that says the QR Scan cannot be opened. What's up with that?

@Rich Please ensure that the QR code is scanned directly within the Transfer Companion app on your Android device. If the issue continues to persist, please instead try connecting via USB. Does Droid Transfer connect successfully through USB?

@Jim Hicks There are no limits to the amount of Android devices that can be used with Droid Transfer. As such, I can confirm that the full version of Droid Transfer can be used to print messages from more than one Android device.
