Minimum Paper Length when Cutting
When printing short in the vertical direction of the paper, cut the paper at least 20 mm away from the previous
cutting position. If the cut paper is too short, the top edge of the paper may get caught in the opening of the case
during paper feeding, causing a paper jam.
Notes on Printing Barcodes and Two-Dimensional Symbols
• Ensure adequate space around the code; “quiet zone” that is required for the code.
• To print PDF417 (two-dimensional symbol), the following settings are recommended.
Module height: 3 to 5 times the module width
Vertical size of the symbol: approximately 5 mm {0.20"} or more
• The recognition rate of ladder bar codes and two-dimensional symbols may vary depending on widths of the
modules, print density, environmental temperature, type of paper, and characteristics of the reader. Make
sure to check the recognition rate beforehand to determine the settings and use conditions so that the restric-
tions of the reader are satisfied.
• Reading quality of multi-gradation bar codes and two-dimensional symbols is not guaranteed.
• When printing a ladder barcode or two-dimensional symbol that is created as a graphics data, set the print
speed to level 5.
