19 Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager 19 Because some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the 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 Label Printer. For more information, see Transfer the Template to P-touch Transfer Manager on page 75. Notes on Creating Templates 19 19 Some of the text in the template that is transferred to the Label Printer will be printed using similar fonts and character sizes that are loaded in the 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 Label Printer. In addition, some character styles are not available on the Label Printer. Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the 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 19 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 Label Printer is transferred to the 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. All transferred objects that cannot be edited by the Label Printer are converted into images. Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap. Notes on Transferring Data Other Than Templates 19 If the number or order of fields in a database is changed and only the database (.csv file) 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 Label Printer as "field names". Logos, symbols, and graphics downloaded to the Label Printer will automatically be scaled to the resident font or any of the resident symbols in the library. 122
