20 Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager 20 Since some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the P-touch Label Printer, 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 Label Printer. See Transferring the Template to P-touch Transfer Manager on page 110 for more information. Notes on Creating Templates 20  The P-touch Label Printer is loaded with three fonts. Some of the text in the template that is transferred to the P-touch Label Printer will be printed using similar fonts and character sizes that are loaded in the 20 P-touch Label 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 with P-touch Editor, styles can be applied to a block of text only with the P-touch Label Printer. In addition, some character styles are not available on the P-touch Label Printer.  Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch Label Printer.  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 portion of the label within the printable area is printed.  Fields that overflow the print area may not be printed completely. Notes on Transferring Templates 20  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 Label Printer is transferred to the P-touch Label Printer, 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 Label Printer are converted into images.  Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap. 173

Since some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the P-touch Label Printer, 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
Label Printer. See
Transferring the Template to P-touch Transfer Manager
on page 110 for more information.
Notes on Creating Templates
20
The P-touch Label Printer is loaded with three fonts. Some of the text in the template that is transferred to
the P-touch Label Printer will be printed using similar fonts and character sizes that are loaded in the
P-touch Label 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 with P-touch Editor, styles can be applied
to a block of text only with the P-touch Label Printer. In addition, some character styles are not available
on the P-touch Label Printer.
Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch Label Printer.
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 portion of the label within the printable area is printed.
Fields that overflow the print area may not be printed completely.
Notes on Transferring Templates
20
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 Label Printer is transferred to the P-touch Label Printer, 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 Label Printer are converted into images.
Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap.
