Notes on Using P-touch Transfer

Manager
Since some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the P-touch labeling system, keep the following
points in mind when using P-touch Editor to create templates.
To check a preview of the printed template before the created template is transferred to the P-touch labeling
system, see Transferring Templates to P-touch Transfer Manager on page 128.
Notes on Creating Templates
The P-touch labeling system is loaded with 14 fonts. Some of the text in the template that is transferred to
the P-touch labeling system will be printed using similar fonts and character sizes that are loaded in the
P-touch labeling system. 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 labeling system. In addition, some character styles are not available
on the P-touch labeling system.
A numbering field specified with P-touch Editor cannot be transferred.
Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch labeling system.
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 labeling system.
Fields that overflow the print area may not be printed completely.
Notes on Transferring Templates
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 labeling system is transferred to the P-touch labeling system, 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 labeling system are converted into images.
Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap, from which the data cannot be edited with the
P-touch labeling system keyboard.
