Barcode Settings
Before entering a barcode, determine the barcode symbology and attributes to use. Not all attributes
are applicable to all barcode symbology types so they will either be grayed out or not shown.
Note: Additional barcode types are supported in Brady Workstation software and the Brady
Express Labels app.
To access the barcode settings:
1. Press LABEL.
2. Navigate to and select Barcode. (For navigation help see “Menus” on page 21.)
3. Input the desired settings. For information on how to use the screen, see “Settings Screens”
on page 22.
• Symbology: The printer supports these barcode symbology types:
• UPC-A
• UPC-E
• EAN 8
• EAN 13
• Code 39
• Code 128
• Interleaved 2 of 5
• Data Matrix
• QR Code
• Height (or Max. Height): The height of a barcode can vary. For most symbologies you can
specify an exact height with a minimum of 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). For symbologies that are
composed of tiny squares, such as Datamatrix, the maximum height is specified.
• Bar Width: This changes the thickness of the bars and spaces within the barcode, which
in turn lengthens or shortens the barcode. Set the width, in pixels (dots), of the narrowest
bar of a barcode. (Not available for some symbologies such as QR and Datamatrix.)
• Ratio: The ratio of a barcode is the relationship of narrow elements to wide elements,
where elements are the bars and spaces.
• Human Readable: Human readable text is the data entered that makes up the barcode.
Because you cannot read bars and spaces, you can display the actual text that makes up
the barcode. Human Readable text can be placed above or below the barcode symbology,
or you can choose to not display it.
If you choose to display the human readable text, a field for the text size becomes
available. Choose a size for the human readable barcode text.
• Check Digit: A check digit is used for error detection in a barcode. It consists of a single
digit computed from the other digits in the barcode. A check mark in the Check Digit box
turns the function on.
4. When finished, press ENTER.
