Searching the database
While selecting a database record to be used in a template or added to a label, you can
search for records containing specific characters or a specific number.
The search proceeds to the right after the first matched string. Then, the database records
will be searched in the same direction as the import order for the label type. The "field names"
line will also be searched.
The possible search characters include uppercase and lowercase letters (including accented
characters), numbers, and the upper symbols shown on the keys.
Press the
Database
key, select the database to be used and then
press the
OK
or
Enter
key.
The first record of the selected database is displayed.
Type in the first character (e.g., "B") that you wish to search for.
Example: If you type "B", the fields will be searched from the first
field for character strings containing "B".
If a string that contains "B" is found, the cursor will move to that
data and "B" will be highlighted. In addition, "B" will be stored in
the internal memory.
If a string that contains the searched character "B" is not found,
the cursor will remain in its current position without moving and
the character "B" will not be stored in the internal memory.
Type in the 2nd character (e.g., "R") that you wish to search for.
Next, if you type "R", the fields will be searched from the next field
for character strings containing "BR".
If a string that contains "BR" is found, the cursor will move to that
data and "BR" will be highlighted. In addition, "BR" will be stored
in the internal memory.
Continue searching the database using the same procedure.

• If the character that you searched for is contained in multiple fields
in the database, press the
Database
key to move to the next field
containing the character. The character will be highlighted in the
field.
• Press the
Backspace
key to delete the last search character that
was typed. The cursor will move to the field containing the
remaining search characters.
