Creating Label Design When printing a barcode, input the data you want to make a barcode from as text data, then for the font, specify [Courier New] (the font replaced on Setting of Barcode Font). Make sure you have the top and bottom margins of 1.5 mm and more, and left and right margins of 2.0 mm and more inside the label size.
Ladder barcode Cautions: The above values are valid when using paper recommended by EPSON. Before using the barcode, print the barcode and check the scan quality. Ladder barcodes are subject to decreased scan quality due to missing dots or skewed ink drops. Therefore, we recommend using the fence barcode.
