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 informa-
tion, please consult one of the many reference books available.

barcode readers 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.
