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.
