BARCODE FUNCTION
The Barcode function, which enables barcodes to be printed as part of labels, is one of this

comprehensive introduction to the concept of barcoding. For more detailed informa-
tion, please consult one of the many reference books available.
Since this machine is not specifically designed for special barcode label-making, some
barcode readers may not be able to read the labels.
