● Set as shown below for print item to which QR code or Micro QR is to be set:
(i) Number of lines : 1 line
(ii) Character size : 18x24, 24x32 (for QR code), 12x16 (for Micro QR)
● Set barcode type on the print format screen.
● Set error correction level on the various print setup screen.
For Micro QR, printing will be performed in error correction level M even if level Q selected.

Conditions whereby Readable code can be added to be printed
No. Condition
1 Made the number of lines of the GS1 DataBar printing item 1 line or 2 lines.
2 Set character size 12x16, 18x24, or 24x32 (1 line only).
