Bar Code Settings
Creating a Bar Code Label
• 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.

The "C-Digit" attribute is only available for the
CODE39, I-2/5 and CODABAR protocols.
Characters may not appear below the bar code 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.

New settings are NOT applied if you do not press the
