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.
