If the specified area is not neatly aligned, correct
the "a barcode area definition file" with the attached
barcode area definition application.
● In an area specified using the barcode print
function, regardless of the color of the original,
the base color is white, and the barcode color
is black.
● The type of targeted barcodes is one-
dimensional. If the barcodes are two-
dimensional (e.g., QR code), you do not need
to perform this setting.
● If you print using different resolutions for the
application that has created the original and
the printer, barcodes may not be able to be
read correctly even using this function.

1 Save an original to the printer
driver as a PRN format file.
Set [Output] to [Save as a file] in the [Basic] tab,
and specify a directory from [Details]. Perform the
output setting as needed.
2 Specify a barcode area, and save it
in CSV format.
Activate the barcode area definition application,
open the print format file mentioned in step a and
specify a barcode area.
3 Register a barcode area definition
file to the printer driver.
Register the CSV format file mentioned in step b
to the printer driver. ("Barcode area file entry"
(p. 1-37))
4 Print an original with a barcode in
the printer driver.
Select the [Barcode area definition] in the printer
driver's [Image] tab, select a barcode area
definition file, and print.
Select the [Barcode area proof] check box, click
[OK], and a printout to check is output. Check
whether the specified area is out of alignment. If it
is, return to step b. If it is not, uncheck [Barcode
area proof] and click [OK].
For information on installing the "Barcode area
definition application" and on step b, see "Using the
Barcode Area Definition Application" in the "Basic
