4.2 Relating to barcodes
4.2.1 Barcodes
 When trying to transfer a template containing a barcode that is not compatible with the printer, an error will
occur while transferring and the template cannot be transferred to the printer.
The following barcodes are compatible with the QL-XXX.
1D barcodes
CODE39, ITF(I-2/5), UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, CODABAR, CODE128,
GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) , RSS
2D barcodes PDF417, QR Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode
 If data containing characters incompatible with the protocol are fed into the barcode object, that barcode
object is not printed.
 The barcode size may differ from that in the print result with P-touch Editor.
 Since CODE128 and GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) can easily be printed slightly larger, we recommend
leaving larger margins when creating templates in P-touch Editor.
 If data fed into a barcode in a template created with P-touch Editor causes an extremely long barcode, the
barcode may not be fully printed. If continuous length tape is used, the print length is increased to fit the
barcode length.
 Do not insert line feed immediately before or immediately after the barcode data. Otherwise, it will be
considered as part of the barcode data. In that case, the barcode will be created containing the line feed
code, or the barcode will not be printed since data incompatible with the barcode protocol is entered.
 A delimiter or print start text string should be entered immediately after the barcode data.
