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 that 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 “Epson BarCode Font Specifications” for the Epson
BarCode Font you are using. Bar codes in other sizes may not be readable with all bar code readers.

Note:
Depending on the print density, or on the quality or color of the paper, bar codes may not be readable with all bar code
readers. Print a sample and make sure the bar code can be read before printing large quantities.
