Entering a bar code

The Bar Code function allows bar codes to be printed as part of labels.

In addition, the various bar code parameters enable you to create more customized bar
codes.

☞ To type in an uppercase accented character, press

h

(or press

g

, then

h

to enter

Caps mode) before pressing the letter key.

☞ Since this machine is not specifically designed for special bar code label-making,

some bar code readers may not be able to read the labels.

☞ Bar code readers may not be able to read bar codes printed with certain ink colours on

certain label tape colours. For best results, print bar code labels using black on white
tape.
