enter Caps mode) before pressing the letter key.
☞ An accented character can also be selected by typing in the corresponding code from
the table above. For example, typing “A2”, then pressing

☞ Since this machine is not specifically designed for special bar code label-making,
some bar code readers may not be able to read the labels.

certain label tape colours. For best results, print barcode labels in black on white tape.
