Linking a Database to a Template

Label sample

A database can be linked to the template that was created. Since 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 details on specifying database settings, see [P-touch Editor Help].

Prepare a database file in advance.
Note

Connectivity Components must be installed.
• Only one database can be linked to a single template. A maximum of 65,000 records can be created in
that database. (The total size of templates and databases is limited to 6 MB.)

be displayed.
