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 10 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.

The height of the bar code is automatically adjusted to 15% or more of its total length, in conformance to the Code39 standard.

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 Code39 font is selected, the bar code will not be correct.
