Precautions for printing bar code labels

Brother P-touch label printers are not designed specifically as bar code printers. The following suggestions are recommended when creating/printing bar code labels:

Please verify the bar code readability with your specific bar code scanner.

Bar codes would be printed on black on white labels. The bar code reader may not be able to scan labels created with other substrate colors.

The bar code width should be set to the largest dimensions possible. If the bar code size is too small, the bar code reader may not be able to scan the bar code.

The entire bar code image, including left and right margins, must be within the dimensions of the label image area.

Please note that the foregoing is solely for your information. This is not a warranty or representation about the fitness of P-touch label printers to print bar code labels or the quality or legibility of bar code labels printed with your P-touch label printer. Brother and its affiliates specifically disclaim any and all damage, loss and liability arising from the use of bar code labels printed by a P-touch label printer.
