EDITING A LABEL Creating a Bar Code Label Using the Bar Code function you can create labels with bar codes for use with cash registers, stock control systems or other bar code reader systems, or even asset control tags used in an asset management system. • The P-touch 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 effect printing quality. Setting Bar Code Parameters 1 Press the key to display the Tools menu, select "Bar Code Setup" using the or keys, and then press the key. The Bar Code Setup screen is displayed. 2 Select an attribute using the or keys, and then set a value for that attribute using the or keys. The "C-Digit" attribute is only available for the CODE39, I-2/5 and CODABAR protocols. Characters may not appear below the bar code even when "ON" is selected for "Under #", depending on the 1 tape width being used, the number of lines entered, or the current character style settings. 2 3 Press the key to apply the settings. 3 New settings are NOT applied if you do not press the key. 4 5 • Press the key to return to the previous step. • Press the key to set the selected attribute to the default value. 6 • Refer to the Bar Code Settings table for a list of all available settings. 7 Bar Code Settings 8 Attribute Value Protocol CODE39, CODE128, EAN8, EAN13, EAN128, 9 UPC-A, UPC-E, I-2/5 (ITF), CODABAR 33 Creating a Bar Code Label
