Notes on Usage
Barcodes
Keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor Version 3.1 to print barcodes.
• Barcodes should be printed on white tape. If other colors of tape are used, the barcode
reader may not be able to read the barcode correctly.
• Be sure to test the barcode reader to make sure that it can read printed barcodes in the
environment where you plan to use them. In some cases, the barcodes are not read cor-
rectly.
• The QR Code protocol can only be used with English. If data in any other language is
entered, the barcode may not be read correctly.

sion 3.1.

that are compatible with Microsoft Access 97. By upgrading P-touch Editor Version 3.1
using a program available on the CD-ROM, P-touch Editor will become compatible with
Access 2000. Refer to the Readme file located at English\Ptouch\Editor\Ac2k on the CD-

saved as csv files with an application such as Microsoft Excel can be used with P-touch
Editor. Refer to the User’s Guide supplied on the P-touch Editor Version 3.1 CD-ROM for
more details.
