to print the bar code.
Note:
If there is an error in the bar code character string, such as inappropriate data, the bar code will
be printed as it appears on the screen, but it cannot be read by a bar code reader.
Notes on inputting and formatting bar codes
Please note the following when inputting and formatting bar code characters:
❏
Do not apply shading or special character formatting, such as bold, italic, or underline.
❏
Print bar codes in black and white only.
❏
When rotating characters, only specify rotation angles of 90˚, 180˚ and 270˚.
❏
Turn off all automatic character and word spacing settings in your application.
❏
Do not use features in your application which enlarge or reduce the size of characters in only
the vertical or horizontal direction.
❏
Turn off your application’s auto-correct features for spelling, grammar, spacing, etc.
❏
To more easily distinguish bar codes from other text in your document, set your application to
show text symbols, such as paragraph marks, tabs, etc.
❏
Because special characters such as Start bar and Stop bar are added when an EPSON BarCode
Font is selected, the resulting bar code may have more characters than were originally input.
❏
For best results, use only the font sizes recommended in “BarCode Font specifications” on page
122 for the EPSON BarCode Font you are using. Bar codes in other sizes may not be readable
with all bar code readers.
