Creating a Bar Code Label
• 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.
1
Up to five bar codes can be entered on a label.
2
Characters may not appear below the bar code even when "On" is selected for "Under #", depending
on the tape width being used, the number of lines entered, or the current character style settings.

New settings are NOT applied if you do not press the
