Creating a Bar Code Label

Using the Bar Code function you can create labels with one dimensional bar codes for use with cash registers, stock control systems or other bar code reader systems, or even asset control tags used in an asset management system.

• The P-touch labeler is not designed exclusively for creating bar code labels. Always check that bar code labels can be read by the bar code reader.

•For best results, print bar code labels in black ink on white tape. Some bar code readers may not be able to read bar code labels created using colored tape or ink.

•Use the “Large” setting for “Width” whenever possible. Some bar code readers may not be able to read bar code labels created using the “Small” setting.

•Continuously printing a large number of labels with bar codes can overheat the print head, which may affect printing quality.
