BarDIMM Menu

Enable, Disable*

This setting enables you to print bar codes supported by the Barcode Printing Kit.

If [Enable] is selected, the machine will generate bar codes when it receives bar code commands from the host computer.

If [Disable] is selected, bar codes will not be generated, even if bar code commands are sent from the host computer.

IMPORTANT
To enable the BarDIMM menu, it is necessary to activate the Barcode Printing Kit. When you are not printing bar codes, make sure to disable the BarDIMM menu. Otherwise, the processing speed of regular print jobs may be reduced.

NOTE
The default setting is [Disable]. If you activate the Barcode Printing Kit, it changes to [Enable]. [FreeScape] appears only if the BarDIMM menu is enabled.
