Relating to bar codes
● Bar codes
・When trying to transfer a template containing a bar code that is not compatible with the
machine, an error will occur while transferring and the template cannot be transferred to
the machine.
The following bar codes are compatible with the machine.
1D bar codes
CODE39, ITF(I-2/5), UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, CODABAR, CODE128,
GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) , RSS
2D bar codes
PDF417, QR Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode
・If data containing characters incompatible with the protocol are fed into the bar code
object, that bar code object is not printed.
・The bar code size may differ from that in the print result with P-touch Editor.
・Since CODE128 and GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128) can easily be printed slightly larger, we
recommend leaving larger margins when creating templates in P-touch Editor.
・If data fed into a bar code in a template created with P-touch Editor causes an extremely
long bar code, the bar code may not be fully printed.
・Do not insert line returns immediately before or immediately after the bar code data.
Otherwise, it will be considered as part of the bar code data. In that case, the bar code
will be created containing the line return code, or the bar code will not be printed since
data incompatible with the bar code protocol is entered.
・A delimiter or print start text string should be entered immediately after the bar code data.
● 1D bar codes
・The ratio setting for 1D bar codes specified in P-touch Editor is invalid. Normally, this is
fixed at 3:1.
・A bar code wider than 22.5 cm will not be printed.
・A 1D bar code taller than 99 mm is converted to 99 mm.
・The number of characters that can be entered for each protocol is shown below.
CODE39: 1 to 50 characters (not including “*” on both sides)
I-2/5: 1 to 64 characters
EAN-8: 7 characters
EAN-13: 12 characters
