    Using P-touch Template 1. Set up the printer. With the P-touch Template Settings tool, specify the initial printer settings according to the host system environment or the host device that PT-9800PCN/PT-9700PC is connected to. (Refer to “P-touch Template Settings tool” on page 7.) The printer driver must first be installed via a USB connection.
  • Page 6 5. Connect the printer to the host device, and print labels. Connect the printer to the host device by using a serial cable (RS-232C) or USB-A cable. Transfer the data, such as ASCII text, from the host device to templates on the machine, and print the labels. *Refer to the sample code for details on using P-touch Template.

  • Page 34: About P-Touch Template

    About P-touch Template Data can be sent from a host device (such as measuring instruments, scales and bar code readers) and printed in a template created in P-touch Editor and previously transferred to the printer. P-touch Template commands consist of a prefix character and a two-character text string. When the prefix character is sent, the machine begins the analysis of the P-touch Template command, and performs the specified process if the following two-character text string corresponds to a command.
