4. P-touch Template 2.0 Limitations
4.6 Others
4.6.1 Transferring templates
A maximum of 255 templates can be transferred. The transfer cannot be completed if the amount of data
being transferred exceeds user area of the flash memory.
A single template can contain a maximum of 255 objects.
When print data is fed, the command mode should be the P-touch Template mode.
When a template is transferred to the printer, all values specified with dynamic commands are initialized.
This is not compatible with split labels.
After printing from P-touch Editor, the command mode changes to initial value. In order to print a template,
select the P-touch Template mode in the P-touch Template Settings tool or, if the previous mode in the
P-touch Template Settings tool was the P-touch Template mode, turn the printer off, then on again to enter
P-touch Template mode.
4.6.2 About objects in a template
The line feed codes (0D0A, 0D and 0A) in print data are read, then discarded. However, when specified as
special data, such as delimiters, print start text strings or line feed commands, they are applied.
The order of the objects is determined only by the last four-digit number of the object name. Objects with
no numbers in their names will be at the end of the order. If objects have the same number, the order is
determined in the following order: text, 1D barcodes, then 2D barcodes. If the objects are of the same type,
the object created first is first in the order. We recommend that the numbers indicating the order be added
at the end of the object name.
(To specify the name of an object in P-touch Editor, display the properties of the text or barcode object, and
then specify the name in the “Object Name” box on the Expanded tab.)
