    ❏When rotating characters, only specify rotation angles of 90°, 180°, and 270°.

    							Information about Fonts373
    ❏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 373 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.

    ❏Spaces in Code39 bar codes should be input as “_” underbars.
    ❏When printing two or more bar codes on one line, separate the bar codes with a tab, or 
    select a font other than a BarCode Font and input the space. If a space is input while a
