P-touch Template 2.0 Command Reference

4. P-touch Template 2.0 Limitations
4.3 Relating to images
If a template containing overlapping images is transferred with P-touch Editor, all image data will be
overlapping. (P-touch Editor displays the image created last on top.)
4.4 Relating to Numbering
A single object contains a single Numbering field.
A Numbering field can contain a maximum of 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.
If a line feed exists in the numbering area, characters after line feed are deleted.
Note
Numbering objects refer to text objects or barcode objects that have the Numbering function
applied.
4.5 Relating to Database
When a database is transferred, it is named using the file name + sheet name (when created in Excel).
The file name can contain up to 15 bytes of characters (15 one-byte characters or 7 two-byte characters).
A maximum of 255 databases can be transferred. However, the transfer cannot be completed if the
amount of data being transferred exceeds user area* of the flash memory. (* See Appendix B:
Specifications)
If there is a line feed in a cell containing text to be replaced, only the string of characters before the line
feed will be replaced.
The text to be replaced can contain up to 256 characters.
A database can contain a maximum of 65,000 rows.
The maximum number of database line is 65000 lines included the title. If the database is over 65000 lines,
the only lines over 65000 are deleted.
A database can contain a maximum of 100 columns. If a database containing more than 100 columns is
transferred, all data after the 100th column will be deleted.
If there is no database linked to the template being printed, or if the corresponding string of characters to
be replaced cannot be found, an error occurs.
If columns linked to the template being printed are not in the database, the objects related to those
columns remain as they were when the template was transferred.
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.
