EDITING A LABEL

Setting Label Attributes ([Length]/[Margin]/[Tab Length])

(Refer to “Adjusting the Label Length” on page 23, “Setting Margin” on

page 21 and “To change tab length:” on page 10.)

NOTE

[Length] can be set within the range 1.2" (30 mm) - 12.0" (300 mm).

When [Auto] is selected, the length of the label is automatically

adjusted based on the amount of text entered.

Creating a Bar Code Label

NOTE

• The P-touch labeler is not designed exclusively for creating bar code

labels. Always check that bar code labels can be read by the bar code

reader.

• For best results, print bar code labels in black ink on white tape.

Some bar code readers may not be able to read bar code labels

created using colored tape or ink.

• Use the [Large] setting for [Width] whenever possible. Some bar code

readers may not be able to read bar code labels created using the

[Small] setting.

• Continuously printing a large number of labels with bar codes can

overheat the print head, which may affect printing quality.

 Setting Bar Code Parameters and Entering Bar Code Data

NOTE

• Symbols are only available for the CODE39, CODE128, CODABAR

or GS1-128 protocols. When not using symbols, after typing in the

bar code data, press ( ) or ( ) to insert the bar code in the label.

• The "C.Digit" (Check Digit) attribute is only available for the CODE39,

I-2/5 and CODABAR protocols.

• Only one bar code can be printed on a label.
