BARCODE FUNCTION

The Barcode function, which enables barcodes to be printed as part of labels, is one of this
machine’s most advanced features.

☞

This section will explain how to enter a barcode into your text. It is not intended as a
comprehensive introduction to the concept of barcoding. For more detailed information,
please consult one of the many reference books available.
Since this machine is not specifically designed for special barcode label-making, some
barcode readers may not be able to read the labels.
Print barcodes with black ink on a white background.

Four different parameters enable you to create custom barcodes.

It is recommended that barcodes be printed with the Tape margin function set to FULL
and the barcode WIDTH parameter set to LARGE; otherwise, the barcodes may be diffi-
cult to read.

 and
