Creating Barcode Labels

ENGLISH

 EDIT

ING 

A LABEL

Using the Barcode function you can create labels with one dimensional barcodes for use with 

asset control tags, serial number labels, and even POS and stock control systems.

Selectable “Barcodes” are listed in the Appendix. (See page 88.)

Setting Barcode Parameters and Entering Barcode Data

Press the 

Bar Code

 key.

The “Bar Code Setup” screen appears.

Select an attribute using the   or   key, and then set a value for that attribute using 

the   or   key.

- Protocol: 

CODE39

, CODE128, EAN-8, EAN-13, GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128), UPC-A, 

UPC-E, I-2/5 (ITF), CODABAR

- Width: 

Small

, Large

- Under#: 

On

, Off

- C.Digit: 

Off

,

 

On

Available only for the Code39, I-2/5, and Codabar protocols.

Press the 

OK

 or 

Enter

 key to apply the settings.

Type the barcode data.

Special characters can be entered in the barcode when using the 

CODE39, CODE128, CODABAR or GS1-128 protocols. When 

not using special characters, go to step 7.

Press the 

Symbol

 key. 

A list of characters available for the current protocol appears.

Select a character using the   or   key, then press the 

OK

 or 

Enter

 key to insert the character in the barcode data.

Creating Barcode Labels

• The printer is not designed exclusively for creating barcode labels. Always check that barcode 

labels can be read by the barcode reader.

• For best results, print barcode labels in black ink on white tape. Some barcode readers may not 

be able to read the barcode labels created using coloured tape or ink.

• Use the “Large” setting for “Width” whenever possible. Some barcode readers may not be able 

to read the barcode labels created using the “Small” setting.

• Continuously printing a large number of labels with barcodes can overheat the Print Head, 

which may affect the print quality.

1

Up to five barcodes can be entered on a label.

2

Characters may not appear below the barcode even when “On” is selected for “Under#”, 

depending on the tape width being used, the number of lines entered, or the current character 

style settings.

3

New settings are NOT applied if you do not press the 

OK

 or 

Enter

 key.
