Creating a Bar Code Label

NOTE
• 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.
