Head density

Bar width ratio 1:2 2L or more 2L or more 4L or more
Bar width ratio 1:3 2L or more 2L or more 4L or more
Bar width ratio 2:5 1L or more 1L or more 2L or more
UPC-A/EAN/JAN 2L or more 2L or more 4L or more
2) If printing in serial 1 or serial 2 mode, specify the bar width expansion factor so that when using a

8 dots/mm 12 dots/mm 24 dots/mm
Bar width ratio 1:2 3L or more 3L or more 6L or more
Bar width ratio 1:3 3L or more 3L or more 6L or more
Bar width ratio 2:5 2L or more 2L or more 4L or more
UPC-A/EAN/JAN 3L or more 3L or more 6L or more
3) If printing in serial 1 or serial 2, reduce the print speed.
(7) Printing barcode exceeding the area of media size (<A1>)
When printing barcode or HRI exceeding the area of media size (<A1>), the barcode and HRI inside
the media will be printed.
