Bar Code
With this item, you can print two different types of bar codes: EAN-13, EAN-8.
Important!
• The procedure you use to print a bar code depends on the type of bar code
you select.
Bar Code Tape
Only the following types of tape should be used for printing bar codes.
• Black on white tape (WE)
• Blue on white tape (WEB)
• Black on yellow tape (YW)
Important!
• You cannot use 6mm or 9mm tapes to print bar codes.
• With bar codes, you can only input numeric characters (0 to 9). EAN-8 allows
input of seven digits, while EAN-13 allows input of 12 digits.
• Always test bar codes produced using this label printer before actually using
them. If bar codes cannot be read properly, try adjusting the print density or
using a larger character size.
• Do not use consecutive printing for bar codes.Consecutive printing can result
in bar codes that cannot be read by a bar code reader.
