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.

Press g, then c.

2

Press l or r until the parameter that you wish to change is displayed.

3

Press u or d until the desired setting is displayed.

4

Repeat steps

2

and

3

until all parameters are set as you wish.

5

Press n.

To type in an uppercase accented character, press h (or press g, then h to
enter Caps mode) before pressing the letter key.

An accented character can also be selected by typing in the corresponding code from
the table above. For example, typing “A2”, then pressing n adds “

Ä

” to the text.

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 colors on
certain label tape colors. For best results, print barcode labels in black on white tape.
