NOTE
• For details on the barcodes that can be scanned for the various settings, refer to List of barcodes for
specifying settings on page 87.
• Grouped objects will be converted and sent as an image.
a Using P-touch Transfer Manager, transfer (from P-touch Editor 5.0 to the printer) the label layout to be
printed. (Refer to page 36 for details of the P-touch Transfer Manager.)
NOTE
A text object in the label layout can be converted to an image. After being converted to an image, the text
cannot be changed. This is useful for protecting frequently used templates from being accidentally edited.
In the P-touch Editor layout window, right-click the text object, and then click [Properties]. Click the
[Expanded] tab, and then select the [Text Cannot Be Edited] check box.
Otherwise, click [Options] in the [Tools] menu, click the [General] tab, and then select the
[Display Expanded Tabs of Object Properties] check box under [Others].
When the check box is cleared, the object is converted back to text that can be edited.
b When data is transferred to [Configurations] in P-touch Transfer Manager, the [Key Assign] number is
automatically specified.
NOTE
Specify a [Key Assign] number between 1 and 10 for label layouts to be used with preset template
printing.
c Select the folder containing the data to be transferred, and then click the [Transfer] button to transfer
the data to the printer.
d Scan the “P-touch template command (Initialize + begin specifying settings)” barcode.
Refer to List of barcodes for specifying settings on page 87.
e From the “Basic settings” barcodes, scan the barcode for the parameter whose setting is to be specified.
If a frequently used label layout is stored in the printer,
identical labels can be printed simply by scanning
barcodes.
