Part 11 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

changing a bar code size (see step 6).

• Do not use consecutive printing for bar codes.Consecutive printing can result

in bar codes that cannot be read by a bar code reader.
