Entering a bar code

The Bar Code function allows bar codes to be printed as part of labels.

☞Since this machine is not specifically designed for special bar code label-making, some bar code readers may not be able to read the labels.

☞Bar code readers may not be able to read bar codes printed with certain ink colors on certain label tape colors. For best results, print barcode labels in black on white tape.

In addition, the various bar code parameters enable you to create more customized bar codes.
