The bar code is printed with the

protocol and size specified in the

■ Database-assisted label printing
First, a database field must be connected to
an object in the label layout. Then, when a
key bar code is scanned with the bar code
reader, the bar code data can be printed
replacing data from the connected database
file in the object of the specified template.
Note
The key bar code is the bar code for the
●
information appearing in the database
file at the leftmost column in record view
(field "A" in form view). These key bar
codes must be created in advance.
The database information in field "A" of
●
the form view must not include any other
data. In addition, even if the information
contains two lines of data, only the first
line of data is recognised when the bar
code is scanned with the bar code
reader. Therefore, enter only one line
of data into the information in field "A"
of the form view.
For details on the various settings that can
●
be chosen by scanning the appropriate
bar code, refer to "List of bar codes for
specifying settings" (→ P. 42).
Connect the database file to the label
1
layout to be printed.
For details on specifying the settings,
refer to the "P-touch Editor Help".

"Configurations" in Transfer
Manager, the "Key Assign" number
is automatically specified.

4
bar code to begin specifying the print
settings.
