Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager (Windows)
Because some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the printer, 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 printer.
Notes on Creating Templates
• Some of the text in the template transferred to the printer may be printed using similar fonts and character
sizes loaded in the printer. 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 printer. In addition, some character styles are not available on the printer.
• Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the printer.
• A P-touch Editor layout using the split printing function (enlarging the label and printing it on two or more
labels) cannot be transferred.
• Only the portion of the label within the printable area is printed.
• Fields overflowing the print area may not be printed completely.
Notes on Transferring Templates
• The printed label may differ from the image appearing in the preview area of P-touch Transfer Manager.
• If a 2-dimensional barcode not loaded on the printer is transferred to the printer, the barcode is converted into
an image. The image of the converted barcode cannot be edited.
• All transferred objects that cannot be edited by the printer are converted into images.
• Grouped objects are converted into a single bitmap.
Notes on Transferring Data Other Than Templates
• 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 printer as "field names".
• Logos, symbols, and graphics downloaded to the printer are automatically scaled to the resident font or any
of the resident symbols in the library.
