Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager

Since some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the P-touch 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 P-touch
Label Printer. See Transferring the Template to P-touch Transfer Manager on page 109 for more information.

Notes on Creating Templates

 The P-touch Label Printer is loaded with three fonts. Some of the text in the template that is transferred to
the P-touch Label Printer will be printed using similar fonts and character sizes that are loaded in the
P-touch 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 P-touch Label Printer. In addition, some character styles are not available
on the P-touch Label Printer.
 Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch 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

 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 P-touch Label Printer is transferred to the P-touch 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. If the template contains a 1-dimensional barcode that was rotated, an error will occur and the
template cannot be transferred.
 All transferred objects that cannot be edited by the P-touch Label Printer are converted into images.
 Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap.
