When trying to transfer data exceeding the ranges described above, an error will occur while

transferring. If the data that is fed does not meet the minimum limit, the barcode is not printed. If the

data exceeds the maximum limit, only the data to the maximum limit is applied. However, if the data

exceeds 64 characters, the barcode is not printed.

If a template is created in P-touch Editor with an extremely low barcode bar height, the bars may not be

printed.
