APPENDIX Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager (For Windows) 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. You can check a preview of the printed template before the created template is transferred to the P-touch labeling system. Refer to "Transferring the Label Template to P-touch Transfer Manager" on page 29 for details. 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 only be applied to a block of text 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. • Date and Time objects using the "At Printing" setting on P-touch Editor will not be printed. • A P-touch Editor layout that uses the split printing function (enlarging the label and printing it on 2 or more labels) cannot be transferred. • Only the first seven lines of text typed into a database field is read by the P-touch labeling system. • Fields that overflow print area may not print 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 bar code not loaded on the P-touch labeling system is transferred to the P-touch labeling system, the bar code will be converted into an image if it is a 2-dimensional bar code. The image of the converted bar code cannot be edited. If the bar code is a 1- 1 dimensional bar code containing a bar code protocol not compatible with the P-touch labeling system, an error will occur and the template cannot be transferred. 2 • All transferred objects that cannot be edited by the P-touch labeling system are converted into images. 3 • Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap, from which the data cannot be edited with the P-touch labeling system keyboard. 4 Notes on Transferring Data Other Than Templates 5 • If the number or order of fields in a database are changed and only the database (*.csv file) 6 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 recognized by the P-touch labeling 7 system as "field names". • Downloaded logos, symbols and graphics into the P-touch labeling system will 8 automatically be scaled (to 8 sizes) like the resident font or any of the resident symbol in the library. 9 Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager (For Windows) 67
