Working with Fonts
EPSON BarCode Fonts (Windows Only)
EPSON BarCode Fonts let you easily create and print many types of bar codes.
Normally, bar code creation is a laborious process requiring you to specify various command codes, such as Start bar, Stop bar and OCR-B, in addition to the bar code characters themselves. However, EPSON BarCode Fonts are designed to add such codes automatically, allowing you to easily print bar codes that conform to a variety of bar code standards.
EPSON BarCode Fonts support the following types of bar codes.
| Bar code Standard | EPSON BarCode | OCR-B | Check Digit | Comments |
| EAN | EPSON EAN-8 | Yes | Yes | Creates EAN (abbreviated version) bar codes. |
| EPSON EAN-13 | Yes | Yes | Creates EAN (standard version) bar codes. | |
| UPC-A | EPSON UPC-A | Yes | Yes | Creates UPC-A bar codes. |

System requirements
To use EPSON BarCode Fonts, your computer system should meet the following requirements:
Computer: IBM PC series or IBM compatible with an i386SX or higher CPU
Operating system*: Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, 2000, Server 2008, or Server 2003
Hard disk: 15 to 30 KB free space, depending on the font.
- EPSON BarCode Fonts can only be used with Epson printer drivers.
Installing EPSON Barcode Codes
Follow the steps below to install EPSON BarCode Fonts. The procedure described here is for installation in Windows XP; the procedure for other Windows operating systems is nearly the same.
- Make sure that the printer is off and that Windows is running on your computer.
- Insert the printer software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
Note:
If the Epson Installation Program screen does not appear automatically, click Start, then click Computer (for Windows Vista or Server 2008) or click the My Computer icon on the desktop (for Windows XP, 2000 or Server 2003). Right-click the CD-ROM icon, click OPEN in the menu that appears, then double-click EPSetup.exe.
-
If the language section window appears, select your language.
-
If the option selection window appears, click User Installation.
- When the Epson Installation Program screen appears, click Custom Install.
- Click EPSON BarCode Font.
- When the software license agreement screen appears, read the statement and then click Accept. Then follow the on-screen instructions.
- When installation is complete, click Exit.
EPSON BarCode Fonts are now installed on your computer.
Printing with EPSON BarCode Fonts
Follow the steps below to create and print bar codes using EPSON BarCode Fonts. The application featured in these instructions is Microsoft WordPad. The actual procedure may differ slightly when printing from other applications.
- Open a document in your application and enter the characters you want to convert into a bar code.
- Select the characters, then select Font from the Format menu.
- Select the EPSON BarCode Font you want to use, set the font size, then click OK.
Note:
In Windows Vista, XP, 2000, Server 2008, or Server 2003, you cannot use font sizes larger than 96 points when printing bar codes.
- The characters you selected appear as bar code characters similar to those shown below.
- Select Print from the File menu, select your Epson printer, then click Properties. Make the following printer driver settings. Your printer is a Black-and-White printer. See the Black-and-White Printer Driver section in the table below.
| Black-and-white Printer Driver | Color Printer Driver | Host Based Black-and-white Printer Driver | Host Based Color Printer Driver | |
| Color | (not available) | Black | (not available) | Black |
| Print Quality | Text & Image* | Text & Image* | Text & Image* | Text & Image* |
| Toner Save | Not selected | Not selected | Not selected | Not selected |
| Zoom Options | Not selected | Not selected | Not selected | Not selected |
| Graphic mode (in the Extended Settings dialog box accessed through the Optional Settings tab) | High Quality (Printer) | (not available) | (not available) | (not available) |
| Printing Mode (in the Extended Settings dialog box accessed through the Optional Settings tab) | (not available) | High Quality (Printer) | (not available) | (not available) |
-
These settings are available when the Automatic check box is selected on the Basic Settings tab. When the Advanced check box is selected, click the More Settings button and set the Resolution or Print Quality to Fine.
-
Click OK to print the bar code.
Note:
If there is an error in the bar code character string, such as inappropriate data, the bar code will be printed as it appears on the screen, but it cannot be read by a bar code reader.
Notes on inputting and formatting bar codes
Please note the following when inputting and formatting bar code characters:
Do not apply shading or special character formatting, such as bold, italic, or underline.
Print bar codes in black and white only.
□ When rotating characters, only specify rotation angles of 90^ , 180^ , and 270^ .
Turn off all automatic character and word spacing settings in your application.
- Do not use features in your application that enlarge or reduce the size of characters in only the vertical or horizontal direction.
Turn off your application's auto-correct features for spelling, grammar, spacing, etc.
To more easily distinguish bar codes from other text in your document, set your application to show text symbols, such as paragraph marks, tabs, etc.
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.

Four Code39 fonts are available, allowing you to enable and disable the automatic insertion of check digits and OCR-B.
The height of the bar code is automatically adjusted to 15% or more of its total length, in conformance to the Code39 standard. For this reason, it is important to keep at least one space between the bar code and the surrounding text to prevent overlapping.
Spaces in Code39 bar codes should be input as “_” underbars.
- 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.

EPSON Code128
Code128 fonts support code sets A, B, and C. When the code set of a line of characters is changed in the middle of the line, a conversion code is automatically inserted.
The height of the bar code is automatically adjusted to 15% or more of its total length, in conformance to the Code128 standard. For this reason, it is important to keep at least one space between the bar code and the surrounding text to prevent overlapping.
Some applications automatically delete the spaces at the end of lines or change multiple spaces into tabs. Bar codes containing spaces may not be correctly printed from applications that automatically delete spaces from the ends of lines or change multiple spaces into tabs.
- 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 Code128 is selected, the bar code will not be correct.

The height of the bar code is automatically adjusted to 15% or more of its total length, in conformance to the Interleaved 2-of-5 standard. For this reason, it is important to keep at least one space between the bar code and the surrounding text to prevent overlapping.
Interleaved 2 of 5 treats every two characters as one set. When there are an odd number of characters, EPSON ITF fonts automatically add a zero to the beginning of the character string.
| Character type | Numbers (0 to 9) |
| Number of characters | No limit |
| Font size | When OCR-B is not used: 26 pt or more (up to 96 pt in Windows Vista/XP/2000/Server 2008/Server 2003). Recommended sizes are 26 pt, 52 pt, 78 pt, and 104 pt.

Printing font samples
If your printer has a control panel, you can print samples of the fonts available in each mode by using the control panel's Information Menu. Follow these steps to print font samples.
- Make sure that paper is loaded.
- Make sure the LCD panel displays Ready or Standby, then press the Right button.
- Press the Down button to select the font sample for the appropriate mode.
- Press the Right button to print the selected font sample sheet.
Note:
You can print a font sample sheet from a Web browser if your printer supports EpsonNet Config with Web Browser.
Adding more fonts
You can add a wide variety of fonts to your computer. Most font packages include an installer for this purpose.
See your computer documentation for instructions on installing fonts.
Selecting fonts
Whenever possible select fonts in your application. See your software documentation for instructions.
If you are sending unformatted text to the printer directly from DOS or if you are using a simple software package that does not include font selection, you can select fonts using the printer's control panel menus or by using EpsonNet Config with Web Browser when in the PCL, ESC/P 2, FX, or I239X emulation mode.
Downloading fonts
Fonts that reside on your computer's hard disk can be downloaded, or transferred, to the printer so they can be printed. Downloaded fonts, also called soft fonts, remain in printer memory until you turn off the printer or otherwise reset it. If you plan on downloading many fonts, make sure your printer has sufficient memory.
Most font packages make it easy to manage fonts by providing their own installer. The installer gives you the option of having the fonts automatically downloaded whenever you start your computer or having fonts downloaded only when you need to print a particular font.

Symbol Sets
Introduction to symbol sets
Your printer can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the international characters specific to each language.
Note:
Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you will probably never need to adjust the printer's settings. However, if you are writing your own printer control programs, or if you are using older software that cannot control fonts, refer to the following sections for symbol set details.
When you are considering which font to use, you should also consider which symbol set to combine with the font. Available symbol sets vary depending on which emulation mode you use and which font you choose.
In the PCL5 mode
The following symbol sets are available in PCL5 emulation mode.
