Barcode Function - Brother P-touch 1300 Manual Del Usaurio

The barcode function, which enables barcodes to be printed as part of labels, is one of
this machine's most advanced features.
This section will explain how to enter a barcode into your text. It is not
intended as a comprehensive introduction to the concept of barcoding. For
more detailed information, please consult one of the many reference books
available.
"Since barcode scanner performance varies from manufacturer and model
types, some barcode scanners may not be able to read the labels."
Print barcodes with black ink on a white background.
Four different parameters enable you to create custom barcodes.
Parameter
PROTOCOL
WIDTH (barcode width)
UNDER#S (numbers
printed below barcode)
CHECK DIG. (check digit)
The default settings are CODE 39 PROTOCOL, LARGE WIDTH, UNDER#S set to ON,
and CHECK DIG. set to OFF.
We recommend that barcodes be printed with the tape margin function set to
FULL and the barcode WIDTH parameter set to LARGE; otherwise, the bar-
codes may be difficult to read.
Barcodes must be entered according to the following rules:
