About P-touch Template
Data can be sent from a host device (such as measuring instruments, scales and bar code
readers) and printed in a template created in P-touch Editor and previously transferred to
the printer.
P-touch Template commands consist of a prefix character and a two-character text string.
When the prefix character is sent, the machine begins the analysis of the P-touch Template
command, and performs the specified process if the following two-character text string
corresponds to a command.
Static and dynamic commands
With static commands, settings specified with a command are saved and stored in the
memory.
With dynamic commands, settings specified with a command are temporarily saved and
applied until the machine is turned off.
If printing does not begin (main most frequent causes)
1) Incorrect communication settings
2) The command mode is not in the P-touch Template mode.
3) The conditions for the print start trigger are not met.
The following three types of print start triggers are available, but the selection is
incorrect.
① When the specified text string is received
② When all objects are filled
③ When the specified number of characters is received
If the settings described above are incorrect, use the P-touch Template Settings tool to
specify the settings.
