Introduction: This material provides the necessary information for directly controlling the transferred templates in TD-4000/4100N. This information is provided assuming that the user has full understanding of the operating system being used and basic mastery of RS-232C in a developer's environment.
How to use P-touch Template 1. Printer setting Set up the initial printer setting by P-touch Template settings tool, in accordance with the environment of host system or host device, which TD-4000/4100N connect to. (Please refer to P-touch Template Settings Tool User’s Guide in page 6.) The printer driver must first be installed via a USB connection. 2. Design the template Design the transferred template by P-touch Editor (Please refer to P-touch Template Limitations in page 11.) 3.
P-touch Template Settings Tool User’s Guide ① Command mode setting ② Template number setting ③ Delimiter setting ④ Print start trigger setting ⑤ Print start command text string setting ⑥ Print start data amount setting ⑦ Character code set setting ⑧ International character setting ⑨ Prefix character setting ⑩ Non-printed character setting ⑪ Line return character setting ⑰ FNC1 replacement setting ⑫ Number of copies setting ⑬ Auto cut setting ⑭ Print quality setting ⑮ Cut number setting ⑯ Cut at End set
①Command mode setting ・ P-touch Template mode To use P-touch Template, select the P-touch Template mode. ・ ESC/P mode ・ Raster mode ②Template number setting Specify the template number selected as the default when the machine is turned on. However if any number of template not be transferred to the machine, then it cannot be specified such number of template. ③Delimiter setting A delimiter is the symbol used to indicate when to move to the next object in the data that is being sent.
⑦Character code set setting Select one of the following three character codes. For character code tables, refer to the character code tables in the P-touch Template Command. ・ Windows1252 ・ Windows1250 ・ Brother standard ⑧International character setting Select one of the following as the character set of the country.
⑩Non-printed character setting The characters specified here are not printed when data is received. Specify 1 to 20 characters. ⑪Line return character setting The line return code is used when feeding data to indicate that the following data should be moved to the next line in a text object. One of the following four line return codes can be selected, or 1 to 20 characters can be specified as the line return code. 1. ^CR 2. \0D\0A 3. \0A 4. \0D ⑫Number of copies setting Specify the number of copies.
⑱Communication settings Settings can be specified for the following parameters for serial communication. ・ Baud rate 115200 bps, 57600 bps, 38400 bps, 31250 bps, 28800 bps, 19200 bps, 14400 bps, 9600 bps, 4800 bps, 2400 bps, 1200 bps, 600 bps, 300 bps ・ Bit length (bits) 8 bits, 7 bits ・ Parity None, Odd, Even ・ Busy control DTR, XON/XOFF Closes the Communication Settings dialog box. Applies the four settings to the machine. Returns the four parameters to their default settings.
P-touch Template Limitations ■ Relating to text objects ・Fonts specified in P-touch Editor are converted to Helsinki, Letter Gothic or Brussels, depending on the font shape, when the data is sent to the machine. (The font is converted according to the following rules: fixed pitch: Letter Gothic; serif: Brussels; san serif: Helsinki. Symbol fonts are converted to text objects while text input mode is entered, and fonts are divided in three, as described above.
“At Printing” setting (To cancel the “At Printing” setting for a date/time in P-touch Editor, display the properties for the Date and Time object, and then clear the “At Printing” check box.) ・Horizontal alignment settings (“Justify” or “Equal Length”) specified in P-touch Editor are changed to the left alignment setting. ・The setting for line spacing with a line return specified with the P-touch Editor can be set between 0 and 255 dots. (A negative line spacing setting cannot be used in P-touch Editor.
Specifying the line spacing setting in P-touch Editor ・Character styles specified in P-touch Editor are all made the same style within an object. ・If the “Long Text” setting is selected below “Text Layout” in P-touch Editor, the vertical alignment setting is normally set for top alignment. ・If "Long Text” is selected below “Text Layout” in P-touch Editor, or if continuous length label is used, the print length is increased to fit the text.
Specifying a Text Layout setting Click the button circled in red to display a drop-down list, and then select the desired option.
■ Relating to bar codes ● Bar codes ・When trying to transfer a template containing a bar code that is not compatible with the machine, an error will occur while transferring and the template cannot be transferred to the machine. The following bar codes are compatible with the machine.
UPC-A: 11 characters UPC-E: 6 characters CODABAR: 3 to 64 characters (with “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” at the beginning and end) CODE128: 1 to 64 characters GS1-128(UCC/EAN-128): 1 to 64 characters RSS-14: 3 to 15 characters (begins with “01”) RSS Limited: 3 to 15 characters (begins with “01”; third digit is “0” or “1”) RSS Expanded: 1 to 64 numbers or 1 to 40 letters* * ISO646 characters can be printed. <
・The joining setting specified in P-touch Editor is invalid. ・Macro settings specified in P-touch Editor are invalid. ● Maxi Code ・The link setting specified in P-touch Editor is invalid. It is linked when too much data is entered. ・When specifying the country code and service class with P-touch Editor, the number is entered at the beginning if the maximum number of characters is not reached. However, with the main unit, the number is entered at the end. Example: “2” is specified.
・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. ・A Numbering field can contain a maximum of 15 digits.
Specifying the object name ・When print data is fed, the command mode should be the P-touch Template mode. ・This is not compatible with split labels. ・After printing from P-touch Editor, the command mode changes to raster mode. In order to print a template, select the P-touch Template mode in the Printer Settings tool or, if the previous mode in the Printer Settings tool was the P-touch Template mode, turn the machine off, then on again to enter P-touch Template mode.
