Q
Preset template printing
If a frequently used label layout is stored in
the printer, identical labels can be easily
printed without a computer by scanning bar
codes.
1
Transfer the label layout to be printed
from the P-touch Editor 5.0 to the printer
by using the Transfer Manager. (See
Software User´s Guide.)
2
When data is transferred to
“Configurations” in Transfer Manager,
the “Key Assign” number is automatically
specified.
3
Scan the “P-touch template command”
bar code to begin specifying the print
settings.
Refer to “List of bar codes for specifying
settings” (
4
Specify the print settings by scanning the
bar codes with the desired settings, from
the “Basic Settings” bar codes.
5
Scan the bar code under “Preset template
number” with the same number as the
“Key Assign” number for the label layout
to be printed.
6
The specified label is printed.
Note
O
For details on the various settings that can
be chosen by scanning the appropriate
bar code, refer to “List of bar codes for
specifying settings” (
Note
O
A text object in the label layout can be
converted to an image. After being
converted to an image, the text cannot be
changed. This is useful for protecting
frequently used templates from being
accidentally edited.
In the P-touch Editor layout window,
right-click the text object, and then click
“Properties”. Click the “Expanded” tab,
and then select the “Text Cannot Be
Edited” check box.
If you cannot see the “Expanded” tab,
click “Options” in the “Tools” menu,
click the “General” tab, and then select
the “Display Expanded Tabs of Object
Properties” check box under “Others”.
When the check box is cleared, the
object is converted back to text that can
be edited.
Note
O
Specify a “Key Assign” number between
1 and 10 for label layouts to be used with
preset template printing.
