Printed Barcodes Are Not Recognized

1. Check1 Print in the dedicated barcode printing mode.

   Printing in the dedicated barcode printing mode makes barcodes easier to read with barcode readers.

   In the Print Options dialog box of the printer driver, check Print barcodes clearly.

   For details, refer to Print barcodes clearly in the Print Options dialog box below.
