Notes on Using P-touch Transfer Manager

Since some P-touch Editor functions are not available with the P-touch labelling machine, 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 machine.
See Transferring the Template to P-touch Transfer Manager on page 110 for more information.

Notes on Creating Templates

 The machine is loaded with three fonts. Some of the text in the template that is transferred to the machine
will be printed using similar fonts and character sizes that are loaded in the machine. 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 machine. In addition, some character styles are not available on the
machine.
 Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the machine.
 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 machine is transferred to the machine, 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 machine are converted into images.
 Grouped objects will be converted into a single bitmap.
