Title:

Can I enlarge the size of bar code characters? (P-touch Editor 5.0 for Windows)

Description:

Although the size of bar code characters is fixed and cannot be changed, you can create a text object link from the bar code and that text size can be changed.
Follow these steps to create an object link from the bar code.


Note

If you select the following bar codes which can display the "check digit" at the end of the characters, the check digit cannot be displayed in the text object in this way;
UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN13, EAN8, ISBN-2(EAN13 AddOn2), SBN-5(EAN13 AddOn5).



  1. Double-click the bar code you want to make the setting for and open "Bar Code Properties" dialog box. Click [Setup] tab to open the "Setup" page and uncheck the check box of "Show Characters". Then click "OK"
