This manual explains the settings for using BarTender to print out bar codes with TM-C3400
When using BarTender to print out bar codes, the scale of the bar width and space width might change
as shown below, making the bar code difficult or even impossible to read with a scanner. Therefore, first
you will need to optimize the printer information for BarTender, and then set the bar code object to the
recommended minimum values.
