Note
• For P-touch Template mode, templates must first be downloaded from a computer to the printer using
P-touch Transfer Manager. For more information, see How to Use P-touch Transfer Manager and P-touch
Library (Windows only) on page 75.
• The barcode scanner should be programmed to use the English keyboard. For beginners, the barcode
scanner should be programmed to scan data with no prefix or suffix characters. For advanced users, the
prefix and suffix characters can be scanned and used as commands with the printer for creating
customised templates.
• Contact the manufacturer for more information on how to use and program a specific barcode scanner
model.
