BAR CODE FUNCTION
The Bar Code function, which enables bar codes to be printed as part of labels, is one of
this machine's most advanced features.
This section will explain how to enter a bar code into your text. It is not intended as a
comprehensive introduction to the concept of bar coding. For more detailed informa­
tion, please consult one of the many reference books available.
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.
Print bar codes with black ink on a white background.
Four different parameters enable you to create custom bar codes.

code width. Bar codes printed using a smaller Tape setting or a SMALL bar code
width may be difficult to read.

BARS LIMIT" will appear.
