Inserting the Date and Time in a Label
24
a
In P-touch Editor, open the template or layout you want to edit.
b
On the menu bar, click [
Insert
] - [
Date/Time
] to display the [
Date and Time Properties
] dialog box.
Select settings for the format of the text you want to insert.
Important
•
If the [
At Printing
] check box (1) is selected, the date and time of printing will be inserted. If the check box
is cleared, the current date and time will be inserted and will not be updated.
•
The date and time inserted into the label will be printed in the printer’s built-in character size. Because the
character size is determined by the size of the date and time object, adjust the object to the size you want
in P-touch Editor before transferring the label layout to the P-touch Label Printer.
Linking a Database to a Template
24
Label sample
A database can be linked to the template that was created. Because the text in the template can be replaced
with text from the database, multiple labels can be printed simply by creating a single template.
For more information on specifying database settings, see [
P-touch Editor Help
].
