- Appendix: Specifications
■ Relating to images
・If a template containing overlapping images is transferred with P-touch Editor, all image
data will be overlapping. (P-touch Editor displays the image created last on top.)
■ Relating to databases
・When a database is transferred, it is named using the file name + sheet name (when
created in Excel).
The file name can contain up to 15 bytes of characters (15 one-byte characters or 7
two-byte characters).
・A maximum of 99 databases can be transferred. However, the transfer cannot be
completed if the amount of data being transferred exceeds 6,784 KB (for PT-9800PCN) or
2,048 KB (for PT-9700PC).
・If there is a line feed in a cell containing text to be replaced, only the string of characters
before the line feed will be replaced.
・The text to be replaced can contain up to 256 characters.
・A database can contain a maximum of 65,000 rows.
If a database containing more than 65,000 rows is transferred, all data after the 65,000th
row will be deleted.
・A database can contain a maximum of 100 columns.
If a database containing more than 100 columns is transferred, all data after the 100th
column will be deleted.
・If there is no database linked to the template being printed, or if the corresponding string of
characters to be replaced cannot be found, an error occurs.
・If columns linked to the template being printed are not in the database, the objects related
to those columns remain as they were when the template was transferred.
・Depending on the language of the computer used for transferring, either the Western
European or the Eastern European character set is used for characters within databases.
■ Relating to Numbering
・A single template can contain a maximum of 9 valid Numbering objects. Numbering will
not be performed for Numbering objects that exceed the maximum of 9.
・A single object contains a single Numbering field.
