Since some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the P-touch, keep the following points in mind
when using P-touch Editor to create templates.
You can check a preview of the printed template before the created template is transferred to the P-touch.
See
Transferring the Template to P-touch Transfer Manager
on page 144 for more information.
Notes on Creating Templates
24
The P-touch is loaded with 14 fonts. Some of the text in the template that is transferred to the P-touch will
be printed using similar fonts and character sizes that are loaded in the P-touch. As a result, the printed
label may differ from the image of the template created in P-touch Editor.
Depending on the text object setting, the character size may be automatically reduced or some of the text
may not be printed. If this occurs, change the text object setting.
Although character styles can be applied to individual characters with P-touch Editor, styles can be applied
to a block of text only with the P-touch. In addition, some character styles are not available on the P-touch.
A numbering field specified with P-touch Editor cannot be transferred.
Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch.
A P-touch Editor layout that uses the split printing function (enlarging the label and printing it on two or
more labels) cannot be transferred.
Only the first 17 lines of text typed in a database field are read by the P-touch.
Fields that overflow the print area may not be printed completely.
Notes on Transferring Templates
24
The printed label may differ from the image that appears in the preview area of P-touch Transfer Manager.
If a barcode not loaded on the P-touch is transferred to the P-touch, the barcode will be converted into an
image if it is a 2-dimensional barcode. The image of the converted barcode cannot be edited. If the
template contains a 1-dimensional barcode that was rotated, an error will occur and the template cannot
be transferred.
All transferred objects that cannot be edited by the P-touch are converted into images.
Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap, from which the data cannot be edited with the
P-touch keyboard.
Notes on Transferring Data Other Than Templates
24
If the number or order of fields in a database is changed and only the database (*.csv file) is transferred
to update it, the database may not link correctly with the template. In addition, the first line of data in the
transferred file must be recognised by the P-touch as "field names".
Logos, symbols, and graphics downloaded to the P-touch will automatically be scaled like the resident font
or any of the resident symbol in the library.
