● Press the PF key where the user-defined
character image that you wish to use is
assigned. The character is added to the text
at the cursor’s position.
Template data
A layout file (*.lbl) created with P-touch Editor
can be transferred to the P-touch, where it can
be used as a template for printing labels and
stamps.
If a database (*.mdb file created with P-touch
Editor 3.2) was linked to the template, the data-
base can also be transferred to the P-touch. Data
from selected records of the database can then
be added to and printed in the template. In
addition, the database data can be searched to
find specific records.
To transfer a template to the P-touch:
1 Create the layout file in P-touch Editor 3.2.
2 With the layout file displayed, open the
[File] menu, and then click the [Transfer
Template] command. The layout file is con-
verted to a P-touch template format and
Transfer Manager starts up.
3 From the File List, select the template file
that you wish to transfer.
4 Click the Change PF Key Mapping button,
and then select the PF key where you wish
to assign the template.
NOTE
☞
Only the character image files that are selected
will be transferred.
To transfer more than one
character image at the same time , hold down
the keyboard’s Ctrl key, and then click the
names of the desired character images.
☞
To stop transferring the character image , click
the Cancel button in the dialog box that appears
during transfer.
NOTE
Since data saved with and transferred from P-touch
Editor may appear slightly different (font, detailed
layout, etc.) than if it was printed from P-touch Edi-
tor, try printing a test label first. For more details,
refer to Readme96.txt (in the main folder) on the
enclosed CD-ROM.
