Restrictions for the Barcode Check Function

Common Restrictions for the Barcode Check Function
CAUTION
When the printer is powered on while the barcode checker is connected, the barcode checker is also powered
on and emits a laser light for a few seconds. Be sure to keep the laser away from your eyes.
• The reading accuracy of barcodes or 2D codes is affected by label conditions (label curl, print quality,
etc.) and the usage environment (ambient light, temperature, humidity, etc.), and readability is not
guaranteed. Be sure to do a test read with the barcode checker you will use in advance.
• The types of paper that can be used are the same as the printer specifications. If the label color is
silver or laminated, however, it makes it difficult for the barcode checker to read the barcode, as the
light of the barcode checker may cause a reflection on the label surface. Be sure to do a test read
carefully in advance.
• Design the label layout so that barcodes or 2D codes do not remain within the scanning range of the
barcode checker at the completion of printing. If the barcode of the previous label remains in the
scanning range at the start of the next printing, the barcode checker may read the same barcode
twice. The image below is when in continuous mode. As the stop position differs depending on the
printer's print mode and commands, be sure to check your label layout carefully in advance.
