About P-touch Template
Data can be sent from a host (such as measuring instruments, scales and bar code
readers) and printed in a template previously transferred to the machine from P-touch
Editor.
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, items specified with a setting command are saved and stored in
the memory.
With dynamic commands, items specified with a setting 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 exists, but this 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 machine setting tool to specify the
settings.
If a template linked to a database is not printed
1) A delimiter character must be entered after the search text.
2) The print start trigger must be “when the specified text string is received”.
Example
To search for the key code (333333333333) for “Chocolate”, then print:
