- Appendix: Specifications
・A Numbering field can contain a maximum of 15 digits. If the field contains more than 15
digits, Numbering will only be performed with the last 15 digits.
・Only Numbering fields will be saved in Numbering objects when printing is finished.
・If the number of characters that was fed in is less than the number of characters in the
Numbering object, it may not be printed correctly.
*Numbering objects refer to text objects or bar code objects that have the Numbering
function applied.
■ Others
・A maximum of 99 templates 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).
・A single template can contain a maximum of 50 objects. When trying to transfer more than
50 objects, an error will occur and the transfer cannot be completed.
・A single template can contain a total of 1,000 lines. If it exceeds this limit, an error will occur
during printing.
・The line feed codes (0D0A, 0D and 0A) in print data are read, then discarded. However,
when specified as special data, such as delimiters, print start text strings or line feed
commands, they are applied.
・The order of the objects is determined only by the last four-digit number of the object name.
Objects with no numbers in their names will be at the end of the order. If objects have the
same number, the order is determined in the following order: text, 1D bar codes, then 2D
bar codes. If the objects are of the same type, the object created first is first in the order.
We recommend that the numbers indicating the order be added at the end of the object
name.
(To specify the name of an object in P-touch Editor, display the properties of the text or bar
code object, and then specify the name in the “Object Name” box on the Expanded tab.)
