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.

Setting Bar Code Parameters

Press the 

Setup

 key to display the Setup menu, select “Bar Code Setup” using 

the   or   key, and then press the 

OK

 or 

Enter

 key.

The Bar Code Setup screen is displayed.

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

Creating a Bar Code Label

• 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.
