EDITING A LABEL
Using the Bar Code function you can create labels with one dimensional 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.
