    							426Information about FontsNote:
    If there is an error in the bar code character string, such as 
    inappropriate data, the bar code will be printed as it appears on the 
    screen, but it cannot be read by a bar code reader.
    Notes on inputting and formatting bar codes
    Please note the following when inputting and formatting bar code 
    characters:
    ❏Do not apply shading or special character formatting, such as 
    bold, italic, or underline.
    ❏Print bar codes in black and white only.
    ❏When rotating characters, only specify rotation angles of 90°, 
    180°, and 270°.
    ❏Turn off all automatic character and word spacing settings in 
    your application.
    ❏Do not use features in your application that enlarge or reduce 
    the size of characters in only the vertical or horizontal 
    direction.
    ❏Turn off your application’s auto-correct features for spelling, 
    grammar, spacing, etc.
    ❏To more easily distinguish bar codes from other text in your 
    document, set your application to show text symbols, such as 
    paragraph marks, tabs, etc.
    ❏Because special characters such as Start bar and Stop bar are 
    added when an EPSON BarCode Font is selected, the 
    resulting bar code may have more characters than were 
    originally input.

    ❏For best results, use only the font sizes recommended in  
    BarCode Font specifications on page 427 for the EPSON 
    BarCode Font you are using. Bar codes in other sizes may not 
    be readable with all bar code readers.
    Note:
    Depending on the print density, or on the quality or color of the paper, 
    bar codes may not be readable with all bar code readers. Print a sample 
    and make sure the bar code can be read before printing large quantities.
