Creating a Barcode Label

Using the Barcode function you can create labels with barcodes for use with cash 
registers, stock control systems or other barcode reader systems, or even asset control 
tags used in an asset management system.

Setting Barcode Parameters

Press the 

 key to display the Setup menu, select 

"Barcode Setup" using the   or   key, and then 
press the 

 or   key.

The Barcode Setup screen is displayed.

Select an attribute using the   or   key, and then set 
a value for that attribute using the   or   key.

Press the 

 or   key to apply the settings.

Creating a Barcode Label

• The P-touch is not designed exclusively for creating barcode labels. Always check that 

barcode labels can be read by the barcode reader.

• For best results, print barcode labels in black ink on white tape. Some barcode readers may not 

be able to read barcode labels created using coloured tape or ink.

• Use the "Large" setting for "Width" whenever possible. Some barcode readers may not be able 

to read barcode labels created using the "Small" setting.

• Continuously printing a large number of labels with barcodes can overheat the print head, 

which may effect printing quality. If this happens you should stop printing for a few moments 

to let the print head cool down.

The "C-Digit" attribute is only available for the 

CODE39, I-2/5 and CODABAR protocols.

Characters may not appear below the barcode even 

when "ON" is selected for "Under #", depending on the 

tape width being used, the number of lines entered, or 

the current character style settings.
