Important points to note when creating and printing a bar code label:
- Please verify the bar code readability with your specific bar code scanner.
- The bar code width should be set to the largest dimensions possible. If the bar code size is too small, the bar code reader may not be able to scan the bar code.
- Continuously printing a large number of bar code labels can cause the printhead to overheat. This may affect print quality and cause the printer to pause printing for a few minutes while the printhead cools.
- Bar codes should be printed with black bars on white labels. The bar code reader may not be able to scan labels created with other colors.
- The "Give priority to print quality / High resolution" option is recommended when printing bar codes. To select this option, go into the printer property setting of the printer driver.
