Using P-touch Editor 5.0 P-touch Editor 5.0 makes it easy for anyone to design and print more complex labels, for almost any needed imaginable. See the P-touch Editor Help for samples of various kinds of labels and details on creating, printing, and saving the labels. The following is the example for Windows Vista®. Notes on creating templates Since some P-touch Editor 5.0 functions are not available with the P-touch labeler machine, keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor 5.0 to create templates. ☞ Since only the Helsinki font is available on the P-touch labeler machine, the font used to print the text may be different from the font selected for the template in P-touch Editor. In addition, since the size of all text on the P-touch labeler machine is set to AUTO, the text size may automatically be reduced. We recommend using the Helsinki font installed with P-touch Editor for best results when creating labels. ☞ Although character styles can be applied to individual characters with P-touch Editor, styles can only be applied to a line of text with the P-touch labeler machine. In addition, some character styles are not available on the P-touch labeler machine. ☞ Unlike from P-touch Editor, the P-touch labeler machine cannot print underline or strikeout characters. ☞ Only the first 999 rows of a database linked to a template are read by the P-touch labeler machine. ☞ Only the first line of text typed into a database field is read by the P-touch labeler machine. Therefore, if you wish to print from a database with more than one line of text, create the template and database with separate fields for each line of text. ☞ Some characters available with P-touch Editor are not available with the P-touch labeler machine. ☞ Bar codes specified with settings not compatible with the P-touch labeler bar codes settings will not print correctly. ☞ A template created with P-touch Editor should have a fixed length with a maximum of 40" (1 m). ☞ The template and database should be created so that no more than approximately 500 characters per label will be printed. ☞ Fields that extend out of the print area may not print completely. ☞ A numbering field specified with P-touch Editor will not transfer and is not compatible with the Numbering function on the P-touch labeler machine. ☞ Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch labeler machine. ☞ Time and date objects using the "At Printing" setting on P-touch Editor will not be printed. 54
