Printing Labels Using P-touch Template Database Lookup Printing 5 You can download a database linked to a template, scan a barcode as a keyword to find a record containing that keyword, and then insert that record into the template and print it out. Note • The Label Printer has reserved the leftmost column (field "A") of a downloaded linked database for this operation, therefore the keyword scanned from a barcode must be in this column of the database. • For the Label Printer to find keywords successfully, the data in the leftmost column (field "A") must match exactly the keywords scanned from a barcode. • P-touch Editor and the Label Printer can only read one line of data in each field of a linked database so we do not recommend using databases with two or more lines of data in the leftmost column (field "A"). 5 • For more information on the barcodes that can be scanned using various settings, see List of Barcodes for the P-touch Template Function on page 196. a Use P-touch Editor to create a template and connect to a database file. You can link as many columns to a text and barcode objects in the template as needed. Note Make sure the keywords are included in the leftmost column (Field "A") but do not link any text or barcode object in the template with field "A" if you do not need that data on the printed label. (A) For more information on specifying the settings, refer to the [P-touch Editor Help]. b Using P-touch Transfer Manager, transfer (from P-touch Editor) a template (label layout) to the Label Printer. For more information, see How to Use P-touch Transfer Manager and P-touch Library (Windows only) on page 123. The linked database file will also be transferred. c When a template is transferred to [Configurations] in P-touch Transfer Manager, the [Key Assign] number is automatically assigned. Note You can add a custom folder under [Configurations], and drag-and-drop a transferred template into that custom folder to manage different sets of templates. d Select the transferred template and then click [Transfer] to download the template to the [Key Assign] number in the Label Printer. 78
