    EPSON BarCode Fonts (Windows Only)
    EPSON BarCode Fonts let you easily create and print many types 
    of bar codes.
    Normally, bar code creation is a laborious process requiring you 
    to specify various command codes, such as Start bar, Stop bar and 
    OCR-B, in addition to the bar code characters themselves. 
    However, EPSON BarCode Fonts are designed to add such codes 
    automatically, allowing you to easily print bar codes that conform 
    to a variety of bar code standards.
    EPSON BarCode Fonts support the following types of bar codes.

    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 269 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.
