To more easily distinguish barcodes from other text in your document, set your application to show text symbols, such as paragraph marks, tabs, etc.

Because special characters such as Start bar and Stop bar are added when an EPSON BarCode Font is selected, the resulting barcode may have more characters than were originally input.

For best results, use only the font sizes recommended in “BarCode Font specifications” on page 136 for the EPSON BarCode Font you are using. Barcodes in other sizes may not be readable with all barcode readers.

Note:

Depending on the print density, or on the quality or color of the paper, barcodes may not be readable with all barcode readers. Print a sample and make sure the barcode can be read before printing large quantities.
