Creating Templates

• Some of the text in the templates 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 in P-touch Editor, styles can be applied to a block of text only from the printer. In addition, some character styles are not available on the printer.
• Backgrounds specified in P-touch Editor are not compatible with the printer.
• The 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.

Transferring Templates

• The printed label may differ from the image in the preview area of P-touch Editor.
• If a two-dimensional barcode that the printer does not support is transferred to the printer, the barcode is converted into an image. The image of the converted barcode cannot be edited. This printer supports only a QR code or Data Matrix.
• A QR code or Data Matrix must be created using standard alphanumeric characters and numbers. If the barcode includes special characters when it is transferred, the printer cannot create the barcode correctly.
• All transferred objects that cannot be edited by the printer are converted into images.
• Grouped objects are converted into a single bitmap.
• If objects overlap, only the bottom object is printed.

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 to the template. The first line of data in the transferred file must be recognised by the printer as "field names".

Transferring a Template and Database Together

The latest P-touch Editor supports LBXS files with which a template and database can be transferred as a single file.
