Introduction - Brother P-Touch 580C User Manual

Now, we must enter the bar code information, the last portion of our message.
Though many options exist for bar codes, let's assume you wish to use CODE
39 protocol with an undetermined (free) number of digits. A detailed explanation
of bar coding can be found on pages 113 to 115. However, this explanation
covers only the basics of this machine's bar coding function and is not intended
as a comprehensive introduction to bar coding.
If we wished to use a different protocol or change any of the default bar code
settings, we would press the FORMAT key. However, since we will use the
default settings for this example, we can immediately input our data.
