BARCODE FUNCTION

The barcode function, which enables barcodes to be printed as part of labels, is one of this machine’s most advanced features.

This section will explain how to enter a barcode into your text. It is not intended as a comprehensive introduction to the concept of barcoding. For more detailed information, please consult one of the many reference books available.

“Since barcode scanner performance varies from manufacturer and model types, some barcode scanners may not be able to read the labels.”
